Many people still to this day believe the cholesterol "eggs are bad for you" bs and all that goes with it. Just like my husband's Dad, he would rather have carotid artery surgery, open heart surgery, and Medico Mafia orders than listen to anything I had to say about it lol.
I remember when that cholesterol scare came out 30+ years ago, it was all over the TV. They sure made a "killing" off of that one, didn't they?
Which reminds me, I need to go get more vitamin C.....
