Nutritional supplements

Uh, yeah, I would say it was an evolution, not flopping. AsPaul pointed out, flopping would entail returning to older viewpoints. Mercola’s position on eggs, just like most people’s position on eggs,has always been a reasonably intelligent and sensible attempt to weighthe various tradeoffs of eating methods. There’s no clear-cutcorrect answer, just a set of tradeoffs. We’ve whipped and beatenthis topic to death on this list in the past, and the conclusion I’vealways pushed is that “it doesn’t matter too much”. The advantagesand disadavantages of any of the common approaches are not dramaticenough to warrant giving the issue much attention or concern. By myreasoning, if you want to be extremely attentive to fine optimization,”raw yolks alone” wins by a small margin, and hence Mercola’s currentposition is a small step backwards from his previous one. My opinionis that Mercola’s thoughts on eggs are best ignored; consult othersources with better argumentation (e.g. posts from this list) andsynthesize your own opinion based on individual preference andindividual dietary context.
