However, there is no danger! Those black holes at CERN would be microscopic and would evaporate immediately.

Our genes play a role in how much cholesterol the liver produces and how much it clears from your blood. Based on genetic factors, individual people may also respond differently to dietary sources of cholesterol; some people are hyper-responsive to i...

Indeed, studies in humans have demonstrated that individuals could be hypo-responders or hyper-responders to dietary cholesterol.

But the 1960s and 1970s analyses used simple correlations that could not separate cholesterol from its travel companion, saturated fat, since both show up in the same animal foods. Later multivariate studies found dietary cholesterol was not an indep...

US adolescents consuming eggs, as primarily dishes or ingredients, had better compliance in meeting nutrient markers compared with nonegg consumers, highlighting associations between eggconsumption and nutrient intake.

Researchers are careful to note that country-level comparisons like this identify associations, not causes, and many factors beyond eggs differ between nations.

However, the aggregate data suggest that higher egg intake may function as a potential risk factor for cardiovascular complications and mortality.

Genetics play a big role in how eggs affect your cholesterol. Some people are more sensitive to dietary cholesterol. This can lead to higher cholesterol levels when they eat eggs.

Cholesterol in your diet is not the primary factor that affects cholesterol levels—saturated fat is. It may not be necessary to avoid foods like eggs, shrimp, and liver that are high in cholesterol but low in saturated fat.

Ridley described his argument as a "good old Bayesian thing, you add up all the probabilities until you get to a final result," or a court case in which a jury reaches the most reasonable conclusion.

The arguments around covid origins seem largely to fall into an inference trap Andrew has termed premature collapse of the wavefunction. Rather than maintaining multiple hypotheses with different levels of credibility, there seems to be a desire to c...

The origins of COVID-19 remain uncertain. A lab-associated incident is plausible; so is natural spillover. China’s obstruction has made the truth harder to establish, and scientific opinions vary.

More than 60% of early patients in December 2019 were epidemiologically linked to the market, and the simultaneous identification of two genetic lineages supports the idea that the virus had evolved in animals before its introduction to the market.

Both sides are gathering evidence to support their case, yet neither can fully rule out the possibility put forward by the other.

An influential article claimed that Bayesian analysis of the molecular phylogeny of early SARS-CoV-2 cases indicated that the likelihood that two successful introductions to humans had occurred was greater than the likelihood that just one had occurr...

We found there had been overt attempts by management to basically drive a narrative through an analysis. That is to say, 'here's our statement. Now go forth and support our statement.' It wasn't about asking those analysts to give us the ground truth...

The White House last year revamped its COVID information webpage into a site promoting the lab leak theory. While the intelligence community hasn't reached a consensus, the CIA and FBI favor that theory. Scientists tend to favor the theory that the v...

For context, the majority of virologists support the hypothesis that SARS-CoV-2 originated from a zoonotic spillover event that occurred in the vicinity of a wet market in Wuhan.

Eggs may promote greater fullness due to their higher fat content and provide nutrients such as choline, vitamin A, and selenium.

In Japan, a large cohort study published in 2006 showed that daily or nearly daily egg consumption did not increase the incidence of coronary heart disease. Conversely, a recent US study associated high egg consumption with increased cardiovascular d...

When it came to eggs, each half egg caused a 6% and 8% increased risk, respectively.
