    Usually have a couple poached or fried eggs on toast for breakkies for several yrs now and still alive. Im sure a few of you have seen the medical people change their mind often about eggs and if they are good or bad!

    Actually the downside of eggs Benedict is the hollandaise sauce. Really a catch-22 because to me the quality, if good, of the sauce is what makes the dish delicious. In spite of the very high cholesterol.

    I read a poached egg has has 210 mg cholesterol.
    We never hear concerns about chicken, so once again I have to ask the time-honored question, "what came first the chicken or the egg"?

    It is a medical fact that only those still alive can make reviews; the dead rarely tell us what killed them :smile:

    As for changes of mind, everything we are ever told is later disputed. It is because there is no absolute truth; the truth exists only at that moment in time.

    It has to be the egg as the chicken is merely an adult version.

    Not everything is later disputed. Bad and improperly conducted studies (and/or studies that are not peer reviewed) do regularly get thrown to the side. The problem is that news media, our politicians and the average person are almost completely science illiterate and wouldn't know a fake study from a proper one.

    But you say that with the benefit of current knowledge. We do not even know if the world around us is real or imaginary, if my perception is the same as yours, if current scientific knowledge is based on sound principles or if we have moved only a tiny distance in understanding since the (possible) creation of the Universe. We only know what we think we know.

    The evolutionary being which genetically immediately preceded the 'thing' we now know as a chicken; either the combination of parental genes or mutation within the egg (or both) then created that new being.
