Metabolic Health Coach Marc Bates Releases YouTube Video Challenging 50 Years of Anti-Egg Nutrition Advice
Marc Bates, MPH, has released a comprehensive YouTube video exposing what he calls "one of the biggest nutritional lies of the last century" regarding eggs and liver consumption for seniors. The metabolic health expert presents scientific evidence contradicting decades of dietary guidelines that warned against these nutrient-dense foods.
The video addresses the 2015-2020 U.S. Dietary Guidelines' quiet removal of cholesterol intake caps, with officials admitting that "cholesterol is not a nutrient of concern for overconsumption." This reversal came after nearly 50 years of demonizing eggs and organ meats based on flawed research.
"The entire cholesterol-heart hypothesis was nothing but correlation," Bates explains in the video. "There was never a single randomized controlled trial proving that eating eggs or cholesterol caused heart disease."
Bates cites multiple large-scale studies, including a 2013 BMJ meta-analysis of over 3 million participants, showing no association between egg intake and heart disease. Instead, controlled trials demonstrate that consuming 3-4 eggs daily increases protective HDL cholesterol and converts harmful LDL particles to benign forms.
The video targets seniors who have avoided eggs for decades, addressing their common reactions of shock and fear. "You've been eating what they told you, and you still ended up on pills," Bates tells viewers. "You have nothing to lose by returning to the foods that kept your parents strong."
Bates identifies ultra-processed foods, seed oils, and refined carbohydrates as the real cardiovascular threats, not whole animal foods rich in choline, retinol, and essential vitamins critical for aging populations.
