Late to this discussion - just saw the title of this thread and decided to open it since for many days now I feel "guilty" of not posting several studies about eggs thinking "Oh boy, people are getting upset when one mentions red meat, now I will add eggs - I better keep quiet". But than the other "voice" starts to nag "You are selfish person, Surf, so what if some people jump on you lol, some might be helped by your post" and so on , and so on. ANYHOW - without going into details and posting links, we decided to eliminate eggs from our diet (even as an ingredient).

Some people will not be helped even if they stand on their lashes the whole day, that does not prove that healthy diet for majority of people is not helpful. Special diet might not help my husband either, but we would know that we did all that was recommended and all that was HEALTHY. I tend to think that moderation is for healthy people. Once one develops any serious condition, restriction is necessary. We do not say to a liver failure patient " just drink little bit less alcohol" - right ?

On the other hand we are lucky in a sense that we did grow up on Mediterranean diet and that we are not "food oriented" people, so adjustment for us was really a non issue. My husband's latest metabolic blood work is just perfect in every way and even glucose went down even though our diet is now carb dominated. ( was 99 , 98 , now is 92). In general, our thinking is that even if he needs additional treatments his body will be in good shape to endure them with little problem, the same way that it helped him heal so fast after surgery even with so much blood loss.

The best "studies" are observations of the whole population of people that have certain diet and certain lifestyle and they show us a lot .
