Eat Your Egg Yolks
“We’ve been beat over the head to avoid cholesterol rich foods (eggs, liver, etc.), but it turns out these are the foods high in choline which the liver needs to avoid degeneration. In other words, we as a society are suffering from nutritional deficiencies, not necessarily too much nutrition.” - C. Tyler
