Do a bit of up-to-date research on eggs and you might get to enjoy real eggs once again and not the processed alternative you're eating now.

No I cannot. I take statins and have had 3 minor strokes. When I was your age I ate a lot of food that helped my atherosclerosis advance. So, I was a smart ass too. Wise people learn from others' mistakes.
My high-school buddy, from way back, dropped dead of a heart attack at 52. He was athletic, slim build but he liked his eggs and the big macs he ate on the run when he was younger -- beef and potatoes man as he aged I guess it caught up with him -- he was unlucky too. Another friend of mine, active owns a garage door business, ate restaurant lunches on the go, at 47 had a heart attack and they had to stent his clogged coronary arteries.
BTW, all these guys including me were heavy smokers too. I stopped smoking over 4 years ago, and none of us sufferers(ed) from lung cancer. Nicotine was a contributing factor I am sure.
Don't live to regret how you lived
