Toxic baggage...I get the feeling you haven't spent much time reading into the actual science of omnivore diets.

Maybe I have not. Can you get back to me with some information debunking the following claims: Meat - loaded with trans fat, cholesterol, antibiotics. Milk - full with estrogen(it is from a mammal after all), Casomorphin, which makes it addictive, antibiotics, cholesterol and trans fat, just like meat. Eggs - full with cholesterol and choline, illegal to advertise them as healthy or safe in the US. Fish - full with heavy metals like Lead, Mercury, antibiotics.
> Eggs - full with cholesterol and choline, illegal to advertise them as healthy or safe in the US

This pdf from the USDA says "Eggs are among the most nutritious foods on earth and can be part of a healthy diet". True, the pdf then goes on in great detail about the potential health hazards: https://www.fsis.usda.gov/wps/wcm/connect/5235aa20-fee1-4e5b...

The American Egg Board pretty much states they are wonderful for your health: https://www.eggnutritioncenter.org/egg-nutrition-basics > Eggs fit into the healthy dietary patterns recommended by public health organizations. > The high-quality protein in an egg is essential for building and maintaining lean body mass

Essential, hm.

>Eggs - full with cholesterol and choline, illegal to advertise them as healthy or safe in the US.

Is this really true?

No it's not, Michael Greger is known Vegan/Plant based quack full of selection/confirmation bias thus totally biased and unreliable
Thanks, will look at that.
The article says, at the end of it:

>The research was supported with a grant from Australian Eggs; they had no role in the research design, conduct, analyses or writing of the manuscript.

Not sure what to make of that ...
