Medical student ate 700 eggs in a month and his cholesterol levels dropped
- amanaplanacanal 1y agoSlow news day? Or is the NY Post always this dumb? We've known for years that dietary cholesterol doesn't have any effect on blood cholesterol.
- testfrequency 1y agoCommented above. NYP is an awful website, OP using it as a source for ~anything is telling.
- amai 1y agoSorry, I‘m filtering ads with my pi-hole, so I simply don‘t notice these issues with websites anymore.
- testfrequency 1y agoNot referring to simply the hosted site, only to the existence of NYP. They are an awful sensationalized, rage bait website that has a long history of making stories up. You really shouldn’t be paying any attention or traffic to them.
- weird-eye-issue 1y agoMany people I've talked to don't believe that though
- _aavaa_ 1y agoWe is a very small subset of people. I hear this from literally >90% I talk to.
- nwellinghoff 1y agoSite is so plastered with ads it’s totally unusable. I mean who runs this and thinks it ok?
- testfrequency 1y agoIt’s also a racist, clickbait, right wing website that pretends to be the TMZ of NY/US. Don’t ever bother with anything from NYP

- entropyie 1y agoVirtually zero ads using firefox mobile... I don't know how normal people can stand surfing the web these days ..
- finalarbiter 1y agoIn my experience people ~25 years of age and younger, who are not tech-savvy enough to install an adblocker, simply do not surf the web. Everything is an app, thus the internet browser becomes an online shopping (no/very few ads) and "googling" tool, though this second use is fading away as well with the rise of LLM chatbots. The ads baked into short-format content are much less obtrusive than the popups or fake download buttons of yore—though in my view this makes them even more insidious. I've witnessed my friends not even realize a video was an advertisement until they'd already watched it in full. * Grain of salt; just the anecdotal opinion of a jaded zillenial.
- tyleo 1y agoI have a friend who consumed massive quantities of free eggs at Meta as a form of petty revenge. Egg prices were high at the time and they disliked the company but work is work. My friend ended up with major cholesterol issues. The condition was easily fixed by stopping the eggs and we laugh about it now. But I think the counterexample is worthwhile for anyone considering a strange diet habit. Always check in with your doctor if you take something like this up and start feeling weird.
- ramblerman 1y agoIt seems OP did it in ketosis, and then slowly experimented with adding healthy carbs back in limited amounts. Unless otherwise mentioned, I assume your friend added a bunch of eggs to his existing diet, which is comparing apples and oranges.
- tyleo 1y agoWhat I’d like to get across is to check in with your doctor if you take on a strange diet habit. I disagree with the point that this is apples and oranges though. Both consumed mass quantities of eggs. If the only difference is ketosis, I’d say that’s a fair comparison and the exact sort of thing a doctor could advise on.
- timschmidt 1y agoHe's right to point out the difference. Human metabolic pathways for processing carbs and fats are capable of functioning independently and lab animals used as human analogs can live happy healthy lives exercising either. But they seem to interfere with each other when both are operating simultaneously, even in the lab animals, and that results in obesity and decreased quality of life outcomes.
- Bender 1y agoI would only add to be careful when talking to doctors. There are still doctors that talk in terms of good and bad cholesterol rather than taking a lipid panel and getting a graph of small dense to large buoyant particles within the cholesterol. To make matters worse many of them in the USA have been corrupted by financial incentives to push statins and that is another deep and endless topic all in and of itself.
