I went to the store to buy a dozen eggs....

Carbohydrates, also known as carbs, are vital at every stage of life. They’re the body’s primary source of energy and the brain’s preferred energy source. Carbs are broken down by the body into glucose – a type of sugar. Glucose is used as fuel by your body’s cells, tissues, and organs. When your body doesn’t get adequate carbohydrates, it looks for another energy source, breaking down the protein in your muscles and body fat to use as energy. Glucose is significant for the brain, which can’t easily use other fuel sources like fat or protein for energy.

Of course, there will be a contrarian argument to this, and one to the argument then presented. I have been on this planet a very long time, I eat what I want, when I want. I like things that are sweet. My A1C measurement at my age still does not require attention. I think if you make a pig out of yourself eating anything, you will probably have issues. All things in moderation.

I know exactly where some of my favorite restaurants get their eggs because I know some of the chefs, and I know some have gone through struggles to get good eggs. They absolutely do pay more for eggs, especially ones that are not used for baking. I can name the restaurants and chefs, and their James Beard award if you like. They just can't put a thin, runny, hilighter-yellow egg on top of croque madame or anything served with an overeasy egg, for instance.

To your point about expensive brands and marketing, you are right. Expensive brands barely meet criteria for fancy labels, then jack up the price, and the eggs usually aren't that good.
But I was never talking about store brands. I'm talking about eggs I buy from my friends, that you can't get in a store, and they aren't that expensive. No marketing, just dramatically superior product. Not every farmer has great eggs, but some do.

I really didn't post that "article" to support my opinion on eggs, I posted that scientific study specifically to contrast it with the fluffy news article you posted. I was trying to contrast the style of information more than make a point about eggs. If we're going to talk about "scientific facts", I expect a control group at the least.

Will you get more sleep if I say that you are right? Are you really that kind of person that will slam doors and hold your breath until somebody agrees with you? Let it go dude, it was a stupid debate and I regret ever replying to your comment....it is just an egg and I will not waste any more time on the subject.

I didn't mean to upset you. Sorry.

I didn't realize eggs had gotten expensive. We usually get our eggs from a neighbor.

Very disappointed. I thought you would come away with a new motorcycle LOL.

Or a guitar!

I was addicted to riding with no hands. One day, I stopped day dreaming while riding without hands. You never forget riding into a parked car as you looked up at the sky

First sign of ADD?
(Sympathies. Life experience. IE: been there,)

Maybe you weren't the right age to see Sophia in that light?
I was!

You took the words right of my mouth.

Why am I (all of a sudden) craving spaghetti?
