  I have a friend who consumed massive quantities of free eggs at Meta as a form of petty revenge. Egg prices were high at the time and they disliked the company but work is work. My friend ended up with major cholesterol issues.

  The condition was easily fixed by stopping the eggs and we laugh about it now. But I think the counterexample is worthwhile for anyone considering a strange diet habit. Always check in with your doctor if you take something like this up and start feeling weird.

  Slow news day? Or is the NY Post always this dumb? We've known for years that dietary cholesterol doesn't have any effect on blood cholesterol.

  I ate 10 eggs a day and got a fucking allergy in two weeks.
