Beware These Dangerous Greed-Driven Health Revisionisms

Eggs, cholesterol and hormone replacement are no safer than ever.

If you have noticed that eggs, cholesterol and menopausal hormones have been exonerated and are now touted as "health fixes" you are correct.

Much health information before Big Tech and AI took over cyberspace has been reversed for financial gain. Beware.

The truth is the chicken egg has the highest cholesterol of any other foodstuff-- packing approximately 275 mg of cholesterol (more than one day's worth).

In 2008, the American Heart Association's journal Circulation reported that just one egg a day increased the risk of heart failure in a group of doctors studied. In 2010, the Canadian Journal of Cardiology lamented the "wide-spread misconception . . . that consumption of dietary cholesterol and egg yolks is harmless." The article further cautioned that "stopping the consumption of egg yolks after a stroke or myocardial infarction would be like quitting smoking after a diagnosis of lung cancer: a necessary action, but late."

Take Your Hormones Ladies!

The 2002 Women's Health Initiative has been reversed. Its conclusions that Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) increased the risk of breast cancer by 26 percent, heart attacks by 29 percent, stroke by 41 percent and doubled risk of blood clots cost industry money. The studied women were "told old" say health profiteers and influencers ("perimenopause" begins at 45) and used the wrong versions of hormones!

The new menopause capitalists, most recently writing from pharma funded Stanford University, even claim menopause hormones decrease the risk of dementia. This, despite findings that HRT doubled the risk of dementia in women and actually shrunk their brains.

Will the Pharma funded researchers pay for assisted living for the women who believe them?

The clinical trials now obliterated by Big Tech, Big Pharma and AI also found women on HRT are more likely to lose their hearing; to develop gall bladder disease, urinary incontinence, asthma, and melanoma; and to need joint replacement. Such a deal, They are at greater risk of ovarian, endometrial and lung cancers and for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

Another Egg Risk

And speaking of ovarian cancer, three eggs per week increased ovarian-cancer mortality three-fold, according to research in Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention. "It seems possible that eating eggs regularly is causally linked to the occurrence of a proportion of cancers of the ovary, perhaps as many as 40 percent, among women who eat at least 1 egg a week," wrote the authors.

Research at the American Journal of Epidemiology, the Journal of the National Cancer Institute, the Asian Pacific Journal of Cancer Prevention and the Nurses' Health Study concur.

Whether eggs or hormones, are previous health studies moot and wrong in the age of Ask Your Doctor ads and viewer gullibility?

Eat Your Cholesterol!

While Robert Kennedy, Jr, serving as head of the US Department of Health & Human Services, is a big promoter of cholesterol and fatty foods like meat or milk, the exoneration of cholesterol dates back to meat, egg and dairy funding of government research and industry checkoff programs.

News flash. The American Heart Association, American College of Cardiology and American Cancer Society have not exonerated cholesterol. A diet high in animal fats and red meat still elevates cancer and cardiovascular disease risks.

When a lethal egg salmonella scandal surfaces like now, the verities of egg production are sometimes reported but quickly suppressed to pacify news outlet advertisers.

Few are aware that even when laying hens are "free range" and not confined in battery cages, half of the chicks where they come from, hatched at the hatchery, are ground up alive. Videos of the yellow fluffballs turned into brown,liquid for dog food are online.

"If someone has a need for 200 million male chicks, we're happy to provide them," said an egg industry spokesman when awareness of the chickocide first surfaced. It continues...

Eggs, cholesterol and hormone replacement are no safer than ever--what has changed is the AI inebriated cybersphere in which the products are sold
