Do eggs make you life span shorter?

My dad just saw on the news that eggs makes your life span shorter. Is that true? He is the old typical Chinese dad that has all these superstitions and what not. But he said he saw it on the news. I love eggs and its hard to believe that eggs will make your life shorter. Is it true?

    they only will shorten your life if you eat too many and they cause cholesterol problems. they're also pretty high in fat. but yeah...the reason that studies show that ppl who eat eggs die sooner is because those ppl are at higher risk for heart disease due to their high cholesterol intake.

    but eating eggs in moderation won't do anything bad to you!

    No they won't. You have more danger coming your way from the processed foods sold in the grocery store. Now that my friend will kill you sooner!!

    That's not sarcasm. That is a fact. Why do you suppose so many non smokers are cancerous? And I mean a vast amount of non smokers! It isn't in the air we breathe.

    It's the preservatives and minute amounts of toxins used in our daily meals that eventually catch up with our bodies and put an end to it.

    Eggs won't do that, not alone anyways.

    I don't know, but there is something in egg yolks which helps your body's levels of lutein and zeaxanthin go higher, so they will help prevent macular degeneration. See here for more health benefits from eggs: http://www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?tname=foodspice... .

    It doesn't make it shorter if there's nothing else to eat.

    Too much of anything, including water, will kill you.
