My grandfather ate about 8-10 eggs per day for about his whole life, because they lived on the country-side and they ate what they could produce (e.g. had hens that produced eggs). He was also drinking about 1 letter of milk daily straight from his cow and in case you never drank raw unprocessed milk, let me tell you it's freaking fat compared to what you find in store. He was also drinking about 1 letter of his own wine and a couple of shots of his own brandy per day. His favorite dish was also raw pig bacon though because of their relative poverty, this wasn't happening often, maybe once or twice per month.

He died at 99, one month from turning 100. Never had heart disease, never had cholesterol problems. He lived in an area in which all the people have similar dietary habits. In fact if you'll ever come to Romania, you'll notice that only the French eat fatter and IMHO the jury is still out on that one, because while the French use tons of butter for everything, I think we are eating more pork-based dishes (bathed in sunflower oil), more than anybody else, pork being way more popular than fish, beef or even chicken (during the holidays). You should see my favorite dishes ;-)

The above is just an anecdote of course, but do take studies with a grain of salt, especially studies on nutrition. Such studies cannot control or even estimate all the variables involved (short of keeping subjects in a cage locked away for 20 years) and cannot be conducted doubly-blind. We are a long way off to understanding anything about the impact of our diet.

Also, it should make you wonder why in the world your medics declared war on fat since 1960, while they ignored the biggest elephant in the room, which is our increased intake of sugar.
