I found this little tidbit in a column last week concerning eggs and bacon:

And no, eggs and bacon aren't unhealthy. (Overeating eggs and bacon—or anything else—is what's unhealthy.) In fact, whole eggs contain more essential vitamins and minerals per calorie than any other food. They're also one of the best sources of choline, a substance your body requires to break down fat for energy. What's more, in a recent review of dozens of scientific studies, Wake Forest University researchers found no connection between egg consumption and heart disease. As for bacon, once it's been cooked it contains just 1 gram of saturated fat per slice—and one-third of that is the kind that has no effect on cholesterol levels.

I believe Pritikin may have started this anti-fat garbage and we've been being nagged at by "experts" every since. They are wrong, spectacularly wrong.

Pritikin and Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PETA front group) were the ones who perpetuated the slander in regards to Dr. Atkins death.

Dr. Atkins suffered a fatal head injury when he slipped in fell on ice. His emergency treatment was pretty standard with a heavy fluid intervention to raise his blood pressure. The SOBs some how got his autopsy reports and twisted this information around to portray Dr. Atkins as disease ridden. Not one of these criminals were ever prosecuted.

For every Freepers reference they need to know that the "Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine" is a PETA front group.

I’m going to start putting cheese on my morning egg sandwiches (on whole wheat toast) from now on.
