Eggs have been shown to greatly ⬆️ absorption of "vit" A:
"co-consumption of 150 g (3 eggs) cooked whole eggs ⬆️ the absorption of carotenoids from a carotenoid-rich, raw, mixed-vegetable salad by ***3- to 8-fold***"
Short recap:
- Eggs contain plant & animal "vit" A
- Eggs ⬆️ "vit" A absorption 3-8x
- Eggs contain lysophosphatidylcholine (lysoPC)
- LysoPC ⬆️ "vit" A absorption
- LysoPC helps store "vit" A in the liver
IF there was a "vit" A toxicity epidemic, eggs would NOT be helpful!
Nutrition goo-roos: "But eggs are high in NOOOtrients! That negates EVERYTHING bad!"
This is NOT true
A concept I go by: "The poison always wins"
"vit" A is fat-soluble & accumulates
As more toxicity is accumulated, no amount of nutrients can save you
Poison wins in the end
We're now going to cover research no one ever told you about
I DON'T CARE if the papers mention CHOLESTEROL, it's irrelevant here
We'll cover:
- Egg intake and diseases
- Choline intake, serum choline, & diseases
- The acetylcholine connection
- The cholinesterase connection
An FYI before we start connecting egg (yolks) & diseases
The Japanese consume the most eggs per capita in the world
19.9kg of eggs consumed per person per yr in 2019
1 egg = 49grams
~406 eggs per year
That's just ONE (~1.1) egg per day on avg
Not a lot
Let's begin
EGGS, FATTY LIVER #1, USA
"there was significant positive linear relationship between FLI [fatty liver index], AST, & ALT w egg consumption & participants in highest tertile (T3) of egg consumption had 11% ⬆️ chance of NAFLD compared w T1 [lowest]"
"participants who consumed 2-3 eggs/wk, were 3.56x more likely to have NAFLD [non-alcoholic fatty liver disease] in comparison to those who consumed less than 2 eggs/week..."
That's not good
"Adjustment for known risk factors of NAFLD strengthened this significant assoc so that individuals who have consumed 2-3 eggs/wk had 3.71x ⬆️ risk of NAFLD than those who have eaten less than 2 eggs/wk..."
That's even worse
"Our data indicate that higher egg consumption in common amount of usage is associated with higher risk of NAFLD"
"Food allergy & atopic eczema (AE) may occur in the same patient...it is clear that foods, such as cow's milk & hen's eggs, can directly provoke flares of AE, particularly in sensitized infants"
"Consumption of >1 egg/day & >1/2 fried egg/day was assoc w a ⬆️ prevalence of MetS [metabolic syndrome aka pre-diabetes] than consumption of ≤1/2 egg/day & ≤1/7 fried egg/day"
"In pooled multivariable model adjusted for updated BMI, lifestyle, and dietary confounders, ***a 1-egg/day increase was associated with a 14% higher T2D [type 2 diabetes] risk***"
" ⬆️ consumption of dietary cholesterol or eggs was significantly assoc w ⬆️ risk of incident CVD [cardiovascular disease] & all-cause mortality in a dose-response manner"
"consuming ≥ 5 eggs/week was significantly assoc w an ⬆️ risk of breast cancer compared w no egg consumption
...
a positive association bw egg intake & ovarian & fatal prostate cancers cannot be ruled out"
"egg intake was directly assoc w total & cancer mortality, & that cancer mortality in the 1-2 eggs/week group was significantly less than that in the 1 egg/day [7 eggs/week] group"
"Whole egg...intakes were positively assoc w risk of all-cause & major cause-specific mortality, whereas egg white/substitute consumption was inversely assoc w mortality"
That last one is SO important in connecting eggs, choline, & disease
CHOLINE INTAKE, DIABETES, HEART DISEASE, MORTALITY, US BLACKS, US WHITES, CHINESE
"After comprehensive adjustments...total choline intake was assoc w ⬆️ cardiometabolic mortality among blacks & Chinese; among whites, the assoc was weaker..."
"Total choline intake was also assoc w diabetes & all-cause mortality in blacks, w diabetes mortality in Chinese, & w IHD [ischemic heart disease] mortality in whites."
"median serum choline concentration for [hypertension] cases (9.51 μg/mL) was higher than that in controls (7.80 μg/mL)..."
So people w high blood pressure have higher-than-healthy-controls serum choline?
Interesting!
"...there was a positive relation between serum choline levels and all-cause mortality risk. There was an ⬆️ all-cause mortality risk for participants in quartiles 2-4 compared with quartile 1"
Higher serum choline, ⬆️ risk of death from all causes
The peanut gallery yells, "what about acetylcholine, huh???"
Acetylcholine (ACh) is a neurotransmitter
Previous slide showed eggs ACh
What does ACh do to bile flow?
PRO TIP: Screwing up bile flow is VERY BAD for health long-term
ACETYLCHOLINE & BILE #1
"ACh added into perfusion medium altered bile flow in a way analogous to mechanical clamping
...
results suggest that ACh can...cause an obstruction in the biliary tree"
Block bile flow➡️bile ducts burst➡️bile leaks➡️BAD NEWS
What patterns have we seen here connected w ⬆️ eggs?
- Fatty liver
- Food allergy
- Eczema
- Metabolic syndrome (pre-diabetes)
- Type 2 diabetes
- Heart failure
- Heart disease
- Cancer
- Death
What patterns have we connected to ⬆️ choline intake &/or choline levels?
- Diabetes
- Heart disease
- High blood pressure
- Cancer
- Death
⬆️ ACh in bile caused cholestasis / toxic bile leakage
⬆️ cholinesterase levels were associated w ⬆️ risk of death
What can be done?
Understand that I'm not saying to "avoid all choline". Heck, your body makes it
What I am saying is that the combo in eggs of choline + "vit" A is REALLY not good to overdo
I also don't think one should purposely ⬆️ choline intake, or take choline or lecithin supplements

Missing some Tweet in this thread? You can try to
force a refresh
Actionable approaches you could try include:
- Don't eat eggs every day
- ⬇️ yolks to a minimum (it's easy to cut out 1/2 the yolks when making scrambled eggs)
- Eliminate yolks & just do egg whites
- Ditch eggs entirely
I eat egg whites (w a steak) at a breakfast meeting 1x/wk
You might be mad at me for bringing this to your attention
That's OK, I can handle that...the truth can hurt
What I don't like is that this significant research has been IGNORED...why is that?
Maybe you'll benefit from the info you read today
That's why I put it out there
If you've developed health issues over the years from various fad diets, medications, supplements, or otherwise...
Why Tattoos Make People Sick & Send Them To Early Graves
Most people haven't looked into the research on tattoos
I have. It's ugly. Real ugly
Do what you choose to do, I just provide information
Hopefully you'll reconsider getting any (more) done after this
/ thread /
👇
In this thread, we will cover:
- Diseases & health issues assoc w tattoos
- Earlier deaths assoc w tattoos
- Stats on how many ppl are getting tattooed
- Stats on how most ppl perceive tattoos & the tattooed
- Ways tattoos may be addictive
- Known toxicity of tattoo inks
Most tattoo consumers only consider how much it will hurt, what design they want, and who will be tattooing them
The next level folks might weigh the possible risks of infection and how safe/clean the environment is
Very few look into toxicity of the inks or long-term issues
The Worldwide "vitamin" A Toxicity Epidemic: What I Learned By Looking At Gold-Standard *Liver Biopsy* Studies
Bold statement, right?
Yes, it's happening. Yes, I'll show research
No, it does NOT show up in blood tests
It shows up in the liver itself
SHARE THIS
/ thread / 👇
Things I'll cover today:
- Past warnings about the "vit" A toxicity epidemic they feared was coming
- How liver biopsy is the "gold standard" test for "vit" A toxicity
- Evidence of a *worldwide* epidemic of "vit" A toxicity, shown via liver biopsies, since the 1950s!
An early reminder for those who need it
There is absolutely NO difference in TOXICITY between NATURAL & SYNTHETIC forms of "vitamin" A when the same FORMS & DOSAGES are used in humans & animals
They all get metabolized, stored, & detoxed the same ways
toxicants are not released until lipolysis [fat breakdown] occurs,
often through weight loss, diet, & exercise..."
"It has been well documented that throughout episodes of fasting or weight loss, AT [adipose tissue aka bodyfat] serves as a source of PCBs [toxic "forever chemical"] due to lipid mobilization..."
Storing toxins in fat...don't believe anyone who says the body doesn't do this
We were all LIED TO about the supposed "benefits" of carrots, and have been for a very long time
I'm going to take you on a ride through the deceptive health history of the carrot
/ thread /
Here's what we'll cover, via research:
- carrots ⬇️ night vision
- "vit" A toxicity in animals & humans from carrots & ⬆️ beta-carotene
- carrots are addictive like tobacco/nicotine
- death by carrot juice & "vit" A
- carrots & poor teeth
- orange carrots aren't "paleo"
Enjoy 👇
