The GM chicken that lay eggs with anti-cancer drugs (story on BBC)

I think it's interesting that they have now discovered that cholesterol in eggs, preferably free range doesn't have an impact on cholesterol in the body. Wish I could find the reference. Interestingly I eat up to a dozen eggs a week (when they are laying haha) and I actually have low cholesterol, DH has high BUT it's all the good stuff. Go figure.

that is very true......and actually they think that the bad cholesterol is made by bacteria in the gut!!!!

A few years ago, my GP decided that she wanted me to put on some weight. I gave it a good try, and besides what I would normally eat, I snacked on hardboiled eggs every day. Between 6-12. And ate a lot of high-calorie density sweet crap. At the end of that year, my cholesterol numbers hadn't really changed, and unfortunately, my weight didn't change much either. A little over a kg.; three whole lbs. I'm still amazed that I didn't get sick of eating eggs, never mind get sick FROM eating them
