A Mary T. Hoffman Commentary from All-Creatures.org

 

"Joyful Curmudgeon" An oxymoron?
No! I see all the beauty of God's creation and I'm joyful.  At the same time, I see all the suffering and corruption going on in the world, and feel called to help expose and end it so that we may have true peace and compassion.

 


Egg Consumption Raises Diabetes Risk – 23 April 2009
By Mary T. Hoffman

Have you noticed all the TV commercials for eggs lately? As vegans, my husband Frank and I stopped eating eggs over twenty years ago. Here’s something you’re not likely to hear from the media who accept money for advertising eggs:

“Daily consumption of eggs increases the likelihood of developing type 2 diabetes, according to a new study published in Diabetes Care. In this study of about 57,000 men and women from two large randomized trials, researchers found that daily egg intake was associated with a 77 percent and 58 percent increased risk for women and men, respectively.”

– From the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine: Good Medicine, Spring 2009, Vol. XVIII, No. 2, page 5. Also visit:
