Thanks for the input, I appreciate it.

This is what I was referring to regarding the eggs themselves: https://youtu.be/w_cKTN1l7r4?t=1516

Welcome, always nice to talk about this stuff - nutrition science is a very interesting field because it's such a slippery subject to get right. Every day's a school day and I'm never as right as I think I am!

That take on eggs sounds about right regarding numbers per day and risk. If you look at the ACM risk associated with various food groups in figure 2 from this paper (https://ars.els-cdn.com/content/image/1-s2.0-S00029165220492...) then you can see the ACM risk hitting significance at around 55g/day, which is about 1 large egg.

Dave Asprey is such a wild dude. Who is eating rice for protein? Bizarre straw man!
