Thanks for the info, I now think I can safely move forward on 2 eggs a week.😉

Here’s some more information from a conference

Eggs and Prostate Cancer
Incidence of lethal prostate cancer in healthy men (pre-diagnosis):
• 81% increased risk (2.5+ vs. < 0.5 eggs/week) (HPFS)
Post-diagnosis:
• No association for lethal prostate cancer (HPFS, PHS)
• 2-fold increased risk of progression at levels of 5.5 eggs/ week (no association with lower intake) (CaPSURE)

I’ve seen another report that said three eggs a week was what you should limit it to. Enough to make an omelette.
