Back yard chickens have been a fing blessing

Or you can be insane like me, and don't eat eggs at all. Mostly because prostate cancer runs in my family and eggs drastically increase risk of lethal prostate cancer. It's the lethal aspect of egg cancer that bothers me after my grandfather died from it.

Just looked it up and ,holy shit, there is a link between eggs and prostate cancer. And full fat dairy apparently. https://www.pcf.org/c/prostate-cancer-and-eggs-dairy-supplements-your-questions-answered-part-1/

The sad part is that it's mostly in the yolks, which is my main reason for eating them. Research suggests 2 a week or less, so I try to stick to that guideline to stay on the safe side. If it hadn't impacted my grandfather I probably would have never known about the link.

The yolks are the best part! I was gonna make some deviled eggs but now I can't. Gonna maybe stick with 1 or 2 a week

[–] TangledHyphae@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

You probably can. If I were to do it, I'd probably gorge one day on 12 deviled eggs and call it good for a couple weeks, probably minimizes total damage (instead of a continuous exposure every day, similar to how professional eaters work.)

That's actually pretty interesting. I had no idea that there was a link between eggs and prostate cancer. I don't think anyone in my family has had it but this definitely gives me some motivation to look further into studies on it.

Much appreciated
