Amid the neverending diet controversy it seems safest to do low carb (non-keto), medium high-quality fat of which a majority is monounsaturated, medium protein - and be aware not to reduce saturated fat too much as it's not that scary after all, but also don't go overboard like some of the somewhat extreme saturated fat advocates that have appeared in the last few years.

Someday I'd like to see a cost-benefit analysis of eating salads in place of something like bacon and eggs. It seems to me that the uptick in cardiovascular health would be swallowed up by the increased risk of food poisoning.

and you can pry the bacon out of my cold dead hands!
I used to be that way. 100% hardcore gimme that delicious bacon. An article by Glenn Greenwald (of interviewing Snowden fame) on Ag Gag laws [1] made me realize that, at least in the US, eating bacon meant I was supporting some real fucked up shit. I'm not opposed to meat, I just bought a whole beef, but I definitely took a hard look at where my meat was coming from. [1] https://theintercept.com/2017/10/05/factory-fa…
Also getting an (un)healthy dose of Ractopamine with that bacon if you’re in the US.

#15"Associations of Dietary Cholesterol or Egg Consumption"
Yes, eggs are good way to ingest cholesterol, but in the classic American diet, they are certainly not the only way. It feels suspect for them to pull eggs, and only eggs, into the spotlight.

Not to mention bacon is a recognized type 1 carcinogen.

Why low carb?
Carbs = Sugar. Period, end of story. The key to good body composition is a high protein, low carb (low sugar) diet. Avoid foods that spike insulin.
Anything else is hogwash, because calories are not calories.

#18Choline is an extremely important element for health. Recent studies have shown that it has a dramatic positive effect on fatty liver disease, other ailments.
Egg yolk is a major source of choline. Fatty liver disease has seen a dramatic increase since people have removed eggs from their diets.
This study is questionable as other commenters have mentioned. I'm not buying the "eggs are bad" sentiment again.

#19Eggs. Every decade 180° turn. If you don't like this paper just wait.
180° is no exaggeration!
