Cancer is also inversely correlated with alzheimer's. Phrased another way, egg consumption is correlated with cancer.
Not necessarily. Looking before crossing the street is inversely correlated with getting hit by a truck. Getting trucked is inversely correlated with getting mauled by a lion (most places with wild lions are light on road traffic). Doesn't mean that looking both ways will increase your odds of becoming lion chow though.

#22Quality of this study aside, and n of 1 here, my own state of mind, clarity of thought, and sleep are all noticeably better when I'm eating 2 or 3 eggs a day, 3 to 5 days a week. (I might go 7 days, but an independent value placed on dietary variety prevents that--perhaps foolishly when I notice what I'm eating on off days instead of the eggs.) Regardless, this whole eggs-are-evil thing has probably done more to harm…

#23Why would having alzheimer's reduce people's desire to eat eggs?

I know you’re joking, but possible causal path here: People with Alzheimer’s lose ability to use stove -> eat simpler less involved breakfasts -> eats less eggs

Adventists are okay with meat as long as it’s kosher generally. I think the bigger factor is that they’re teetotalers. My data points, though: two of my vegetarian teetotaling Adventist family members died of Alzheimer’s. The lifestyle is clearly not a cheat code for defeating dementia.
I guess I gotta be the one to ask -- so do you recall if they ate eggs ?

You can make eggs in a microwave (critically so long as you don't do it in the shell)

Do you think the eggs are causing the better sleep, or are you more likely to have the energy to make eggs in the morning if you’d had a good night’s sleep?
