The Nelson studies involved very large amounts of AA -- the
equivalent of over 20 eggs -- over a period of several months.
There was no problem. And of course the NEJM article about the
88 year-old man said that he had eaten all those eggs for years,
again with no deleterious results. So where is the evidence that
it is harmful?
