I raise quail and quail eggs are a staple protein in my diet. Did they give me prostate cancer? Are they making my cancer worse? Don't know, don't care...I love quail eggs (and quail too) 😁

I am too old to not eat things that give me pleasure. None of us are getting out of this alive.

@mjp0512 IIRC, the 2011 Richman study (using an existing dataset of self-reported info from >27K male doctors in the late 1990s and early 2000s) found no correlation between egg consumption and being diagnosed with prostate cancer; the only statistically-significant correlation was between egg consumption and progression from non-metastatic to metastatic prostate cancer.

However, since only about 0.04% of patients progressed (eggs or no eggs), the odds of *not* progressing from non-metastatic to metastatic PCa were over 99.9% for this cohort with or without higher egg consumption. 🤷
