...AND BETTER...:

How eating two eggs for breakfast can help you lose weight (FIONA MACRAE, 3rd May 2007, Daily Mail)

Forget counting calories and cutting out carbs. The key to losing weight could be as simple as having two eggs for breakfast.

Scientists have shown that those who start their day with poached, boiled or scrambled eggs can lose up to two-thirds more weight than others.

Those first two sentences are nonsensical. Eating eggs for breakfast instead of a bagel or something similar IS "cutting out carbs." Sheesh.

In the 18th century breakfast was a low-carb meal: eggs, bacon, sausage, and beef w/gravy. Circa 1900 Kellogg started pushing corn flakes as a health food. Around 1960 cereal companies started adding large amounts of pure cane sugar to their cereals, thus giving us the diabetes-inducing glucose binge we enjoy today.

You left something out, Jon - the truly balanced breakfast consists of beer, Oreos, AND Steak-Umms.
