Diet: Living on beef and eggs

[steveinbsas]

Even if there is now a new chart from the NIH, it's doubtful that red mrat amd eggs are any higher on it today, and equally doubtful that tens (if not hundreds) of thousands of profesional nutritionists and diet consultants have significantly changed their beliefs or the advice they provide regarding the consumption of red meat and eggs (especially the yolks).

...as they convincingly tell their clients/patients that consuming "red meat can cause cancer" and "eating eggs can cause heart disease."

I had a heart attack last April. My cardiologist, while he doesn't recommend eating them exclusively, has told me red meat and eggs have very little effect on my cholesterol levels. As far as losing my excess pounds, he also stressed getting more physical exercise over changing my diet. I now walk every day, and it's working.
He's from Ghana and probably wasn't as thoroughly propagandized as doctors raised in the US/UK/Europe
