Simple Recipe: Fish, Eggs, Avocado

I always look for ways to include more than lean meat in my diet: organ meat, bones etc.

Today's simple recipe:

1. Fish with egg yolk: tiny silver fish (whole: with bones and eyeballs) and 2 egg yolks stir-fried in butter (add salt and pepper).
2. Eat with avocado.

The fish is really delicious, much more satisfying when eyeballs and bones are included.

Enjoy!

Nutritional Science - or the lack of it

Today's post is about bad science, and why we came to believe that dietary fat is the cause of heart disease. (A brief history here.)

"Ancel Keys deserves the lion's share of credit for convincing us that cholesterol levels predict heart disease and that dietary fat is a killer."

Eggs - Are They Really Bad?

A study just came out recently saying that eggs are a contributor to the build-up of carotid plaque in our arteries, causing heart disease. The media picked it up with articles like this one in the Los Angeles Times.

Now, fortunately not every scientist believes this. The study is controversial as many variables are not taken into consideration. This is what certain researchers would call bad science.
