Egg consumption inversely correlated with Alzheimer's

I’m copying this comment from discussion two months ago

Quality of this study aside, and n of 1 here, my own state of mind, clarity of thought, and sleep are all noticeably better when I'm eating 2 or 3 eggs a day, 3 to 5 days a week. (I might go 7 days, but an independent value placed on dietary variety prevents that--perhaps foolishly when I notice what I'm eating on off days instead of the eggs.)

Regardless, this whole eggs-are-evil thing has probably done more to harm the health of Westerners than any other dietary advice, with the possible exception of the fat-is-evil nonsense.

Why would having alzheimer's reduce people's desire to eat eggs?

> In addition, to evaluate potential bias because of unmeasured systematic differences between consumers and nonconsumers, we conducted a sensitivity analysis excluding vegans. Vegans comprised a substantial portion of the zero egg consumption group, which could disproportionately influence this group, and they often differ in other lifestyle or health-related characteristics.

So they eliminated vegans from the sensitivity analysis despite them comprising a substantial portion of the no-egg group.

If the analysis doesn’t hold with vegans included, it’s probably saying a lot about dairy rather than eggs.

Since the study was done on Seventh Day Adventists, it's worth noting that they are all vegetarian, so no meat based protein options here...

I tried to look, but the google captcha wouldn't let me, finally gave up trying.

Cancer is also inversely correlated with alzheimer's.

Phrased another way, egg consumption is correlated with cancer.
