The Flip-Flopping on the Healthiness of Eggs , Cheese, and Butter Continues

Gonna level with you guys, it'd be nice if this came back as healthy.


MNN - Doctors and nutritionists have long recommended avoiding all animal fats to trim cholesterol, but Danish researchers say cheese may not be so bad, and probably shouldn't be placed in the same category as butter. The cheese eaters also did not have higher LDL during the experiment than when they ate a normal diet. "Cheese lowers LDL cholesterol when compared with butter intake of equal fat content and does not increase LDL cholesterol compared with a habitual diet," wrote Julie Hjerpsted and her colleagues, from the University of Copenhagen.

Guys, just stop throwing out your fancy acronyms, LDL, HDL, BP/60, MCL, ACL's...Just stop. Tell me if this stuff is healthy, once and for all. Like it's almost 2012 for godsakes, I shouldn't be alternately feeling guilty as hell one month, and content with my life choices the next, when I haven't chagned a thing about my daily routine...I'm still pounding a near daily sausage-egg, and cheese sandwich on a buttered bagel. But I just have no idea how to feel about it...One day I'm ordering it and I swear I can hear the workers muttering under their breath about how unhealthy I look, the next they're all smiles...and sure the difference could have to do with whether I'm stinking of booze style hungover at dunks or dressed up, just on my way to work, but I'm pretty sure its got more to do with the consistent flip-flopping of these three foods.

So if its the Danish folk that need to figure this shit out for us, then figure it out...but don't release another study until you do, I'm just gonna keep eating these sandwiches for now, but please, please, let me know as soon as you definitively know I should do otherwise...Then I'll cut back to just hungover days only.
