Egg industry ads were and are, false, misleading, and deceptive

Egg industry ads about egg safety found to be patently false, misleading, and deceptive by the U.S. Court of Appeals. I flinch when I hear people talk about eating their eggs for breakfast and other meals. I bite my tongue when they try to sell me on the health benefits of eggs. Of course I hear the usual stories about needing protein or how an egg fills them up. Not only do eggs make your bad cholesterol go up, but for hours after you eat, “dietary cholesterol increases the susceptibility of LDL to oxidize, vascular inflammation, oxidative stress, and postprandial hyperlipemia and potentiates the harmful effects of saturated fat, impairs endothelial function, and increases cardiovascular events, meaning heart attacks. Bottom line: Eggs are not health food or diet food and they are not good for you! If you have hypnotized yourself to believe that eggs are good for you and you can’t live without them, you can learn self hypnosis and easily change your eating preferences.

Eggs and Cholesterol: Patently False and Misleading Claims

The Court determined the egg industry ads were and are, false, misleading, and deceptive. In fact legal scholars view what the tobacco industry tried to do as the same as what the American Egg Board’s National Commission on Egg Nutrition tried to do. As with the egg ads, the tobacco industry did more that just espouse one side of a genuine controversy but just denies the existence of scientific evidence.

Over the last 36 years, the American Egg Board has spent hundreds of millions of dollars to convince people eggs are not going to kill them—and it’s working. “In combination with aggressive nutrition science and public relations efforts, research shows that the advertising has been effective in decreasing consumers concerns over eggs and cholesterol/heart health.”

“If you insist on having those deadly high cholesterol eggs your penalty will be to eat vegetables and you can’t even have the yummy steak and creamy coffee you love. Really it’s not worth eating eggs. Oh, and if you think you’ll be able to enjoy some delicious baked goods, forget it, the deadly eggs are there too!”

I do remember the days of eating 3 egg bacon and cheese omelets with pancakes loaded with syrup and butter. Of course then I was obese and was pre-diabetic with borderline high blood pressure. Thanks to hypnosis for weight loss, I was able to easily change my eating habits. The result is that I went from being fat and sick to slender and healthy. When I weighed 110 pounds more than I do now, I was depressed, tired and lethargic. Today I am happy, energized and active.
