    eggs have the best protein the world. You're also missing some must-have nutrients when you don't eat the yolk.

    Eggs are good for you! Contrary to popular opinion all the nutrition is in the yolk. Eat a couple a day for sure.

    But don't eat it everyday, especially the yolk, because it could cause pancreatic cancer.

    While I love you BW, eggs have the highest source of cholesterol in the world. One eggs yolk has more cholesterol than 5 hamburgers. So yes, if you're begging for a heart attack, eat alot of eggs. Every 7 seconds, someone in North America has a heart attack or stroke. We also eat the most dairy or meat out of any country in the world.

    While I was raised on bacon and eggs and all that good stuff, I seen people in my family die of cardiovascular disease and I wanted to find out why. So I studied to be a Nutritionist and studied hard. The result led me to be a Vegan, fulltime for 5 years now. What I know for a fact is that the human body can live without protein for 75 days. Protein is not as important as people think it is, the government wants you to believe protein is crucial to your diet. Why? Because not many people know this, but all proteins are not created equal, just like not all fats are.

    (Casein) The type of protein that is found in animals and mammals is the #1 cause of cancer in this country. The protein in plants is a perfect protein and the protein your body needs and wants. Your body only needs 30 Grams of protein a day, which is the weight of 10 pennies. That's all your body needs. That's a cup of spinach and your done with your protein for the day. You don't need no big nasty steak full of saturated fat and cholesterol. The government and the Pharmaceutical Companies want you to believe protein is the be all end all. Pharmaceutical Sales in America exceeded $300 BILLION in 2011!! This is why all you see on TV is commercials about MEAT, MEAT, and more MEAT and in between you'll see commercials about LIPITOR, CRESTOR, and ZOCOR which are all cholesterol lowering drugs. You'l also see CIALIS, VIAGRA, and ZENERX. Money talks and BS walks. Big Pharma pays for all these commercials. They can afford to feed you the BS to keep you buying their BS drugs. Also, ALL the drugs I listed attempt to unclog your ateries and veins that are filled with cholesterol and saturated fats, that are derived from eggs and animals. After you take these drugs, you might temporarily get better blood flow to your body parts and penis and may result in a temporary boner.

    You never see any commercials about eat your Veges, fruit, legumes, seeds and nuts. You know why? Because that doesn't make the government or Big Pharma any money because they can't Patent anything natural. The government wants you alive, but just barely alive, so you can be sick and ingest their nasty chemicals that are prescription drugs. But, the sick thing is that there are 150,000 prescription drug deaths a year in America, compared to only 10,000 deaths by street drugs a year. A Texas cattleman tried to sue Oprah for Millions in 1998 for Oprah coming out about the truth about beef and meat. So, you tell me what Oprah also knows? The lady is a Billionaire for a reason and she's smart.

    I encourage anyone to get NETFLIX, which only cost $7 a month to watch movies and documentaries. Watch "FORKS OVER KNIVES", the top heart surgeons from the Mayo Clinic in Cleveland come out with the truth in this documentary. I also want people to watch the video I will put in my next post. It's free on youtube. If I even help one person with this info, it'll make me happy. I'm a father of 2 and I'm trying to stick around for them.

    the govt ruined the egg biz 40 years ago and always came out with mis information eggs are very healthy and , govt always misinformed people I had a resturant that made omelets years ago . People would make sandwiches in resturant back in 1970 I was pulling in 2000 dollars profit a week thats like 5000 dollars today. govt came out with reports that weren't true and cut my biz in half. I ended up giving the place to my brother for free he is still running it making good money and runs a booking operation .
