The assertion is not in contradiction to the study. Study makes no claims on healthiness of eggs. Scientifically, healthy-unhealthy food does not exist. There's no health scale. Everything depends on the context. If your blood results and other health information is stable, whatever you're eating isn't doing you any harm, then that's a healthy lifestyle. Trying to divide foods into healthy and unhealthy is impossible.

Other (new) studies and meta-studies do, however. And contradict what you wrote.

They don't try to "divide foods into healthy and unhealthy". They try to divide diets of food, including amounts and limits, into healthy and unhealthy.

  I do not understand how the study you've given supports what you're telling me. You cannot say that strawberries are the healthiest food, just like you cannot say eggs are not healthy.

    >I do not understand how the study you've given supports what you're telling me. The study contradicts what you wrote in your comment above -- I never claimed it supports what I tell you in my comment below it, which touches on another aspect.

      I do not understand what the study contradicts? It mentions no particular food.

The study clearly claims that eating eggs is inversely correlated with CVD/IHD. How does that not bear on their healthiness?
- brolover 8y ago
  It's not inversely correlated. The relationship is non-linear, how does that bear on their healthiness? Unlike strawberries where relationship is linear, unlike many other vegetables. Put a healthy exercising population and the correlation disappears, I guess foods are no longer healthy in that case.

    Swap inversely with negatively. How does that change anything?
    - brolover 8y ago
      It's not negatively correlated, they have not measured the effects of >1 egg/day. It doesn't change anything. Saying that the food is healthy is vacuous. Eating 1 egg per day for the average member of the measured population seems to be healthy. It does not mean eggs by themselves are healthy or unhealthy.
