Loma Linda University Health Study Links Egg Consumption to Better Brain Health

Loma Linda University Health Study Links Egg Consumption to Better Brain Health
A new study from Loma Linda University Health suggests that regular egg consumption may help lower the risk of Alzheimer’s Disease among older adults, according to an article in the Loma Linda University Health news, by Ansel Oliver.
Researchers found that adults aged 65 and older who ate at least five eggs per week had up to a 27% lower risk of Alzheimer’s compared to those who never ate eggs. Even moderate intake showed benefits, with participants consuming eggs one to three times per month showing a 17% lower risk and those eating eggs two to four times weekly experiencing a 20% reduction.
The findings were published in the Journal of Nutrition in a study analyzing data from approximately 40,000 participants in the Adventist Health Study-2 cohort over an average follow-up period of 15.3 years.
“Compared to never eating eggs, eating at least five eggs per week can decrease risk of Alzheimer’s,” said Joan Sabaté, the study’s principal investigator.
Researchers said eggs contain nutrients linked to brain health, including choline, lutein, zeaxanthin, omega-3 fatty acids, and phospholipids that support memory and cognitive function. The study examined both direct egg consumption and eggs consumed through baked and packaged foods.
“Research supports eggs as part of a healthy diet,” said Jisoo Oh, the study’s lead author.
“Seventh-day Adventists do eat a healthier diet than the general public, and we want people to focus on overall health along with this knowledge about the benefit of eggs.”
The study received partial funding from the American Egg Board, while the original cohort data was funded by the National Institutes of Health.
It’s also important to note that Seventh-day Adventist church founder, Ellen White, discouraged the consumption of eggs.

How incongruous? Mayor Zorhan Mamdani and Ayatollah Khamenei
Zohran Kwame Mamdani takes the oath of office as Mayor of New York City in an abandoned Subway Station at Midnight on January 1, 2026.
While Zohran Mamdani becomes the Mayor of New York City, Ayatollah Khamenei is facing protests and civil unrest in Tehran. Mamdani is not only a Democratic Socialist, but also a Shia Muslim, specifically a Twelver. Similarly, Ayatollah Khamenei is also a Shia Muslim and holds the highest authority in the Islamic Republic of Iran, a theocratic state. The contrast between Mamdani in New York City, USA and Ayatollah Khamenei is stark and noteworthy. While Mamdani, a Shia Muslim, takes on the role of mayor in New York City, his fellow Shia Muslim, Ayatollah Khamenei, is potentially facing a coup d'etat and the loss of his authority.Sunday, April 20, 2025

Duty to the Poor
55. Duty to the Poor
The managers of the sanitarium should not be governed by the principles which control other institutions of this kind, in which the leaders acting from policy, too often pay deference to the wealthy, while the poor are neglected. The latter are frequently in great need of sympathy and counsel, which they do not always receive, although for moral worth they may stand far higher in the estimation of God than the more wealthy. The apostle James has given definite counsel with regard to the manner in which we should treat the rich and the poor:
"For if there come unto your assembly a man with a gold ring, in goodly apparel, and there come in also a poor man in vile raiment; and ye have respect to him that weareth the gay clothing, and say unto him, Sit thou here in a good place; and say to the poor, Stand thou there, or sit here under my footstool: are ye not then partial in yourselves, and are become judges of evil thoughts? Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which He hath promised to them that love Him?"
Although Christ was rich in the heavenly courts, yet He became poor that we through His poverty might be made rich. Jesus honored the poor by sharing their humble condition. From the history of His life we are to learn how to treat the poor. Some carry the duty of beneficence to extremes and really hurt the needy by doing too much for them. The poor do not always exert themselves as they should. While they are not to be neglected and left to suffer, they must be taught to help themselves.
The cause of God should not be overlooked that the poor may receive our first attention. Christ once gave His disciples a very important lesson on this point. When Mary poured the ointment on the head of Jesus, covetous Judas made a plea in behalf of the poor, murmuring at what he considered a waste of money. But Jesus vindicated the act, saying: "Why trouble ye her? she hath wrought a good work on Me." "Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, this also that she hath done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her." By this we are taught that Christ is to be honored in the consecration of the best of our substance. Should our whole attention be directed to relieving the wants of the poor, God's cause would be neglected. Neither will suffer if His stewards do their duty, but the cause of Christ should come first.

“You know, we have to heal the country, we have to inspire the country as well, and we have to revive the country,” Mr. Carson said. “You know, we’re on our deathbed.”

Mr. Carson was tied with former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush atop a new Fox News poll on the 2016 GOP field.
“It tells you that people are waking up and starting to think for themselves,” he said. “And that is an incredible thing when you stop and think about it, because we’ve been conditioned to listen to the political parties, to listen to the pundits, and they tell you who you’re supposed to like.”

Let's make Sunday a day of rest, for God’s sake
OPINION
By Josh Graves
Published April 22, 2012

Spiritual disciplines are the habits we keep that connect us to God. They come from the Jewish conviction that action shapes and reveals what we ultimately believe. Our faith might come and go, but our actions should never waiver. This can be true for people of all faith claims.
We dance in rhythm with God when we keep the Sabbath. The reason we are called to take a day of rest is simple. Humans tend to forget that we did not make the world and thus, that the world does not depend upon us.
Barbara Brown Taylor tells a story about a friend, David, growing up in Atlanta and what he taught her about fidelity to God:
When I was a junior in high school, my boyfriend Herb played on the varsity basketball team. He was not the star player however. The star player was a boy named David, who scored so many points during his four-year career that the coach retired his jersey when he graduated. This would have been remarkable under any circumstances, but it was doubly so since David did not play on Friday nights.
On Friday nights, David observed the Sabbath with the rest of his family, who generously withdrew when David’s gentile friends arrived, sweaty and defeated, after Friday night home games.
Following each Friday night game, David’s friends came to his house to describe the game in great detail. “Blow by blow” the gentiles were allowed to speak and create worlds in David’s living room. Someone in the room asked if it bothered him to sit at home while his team “was getting slaughtered in the high school gymnasium.”
More on this...
“No one makes me do this,” he said. “I’m a Jew, and Jews observe the Sabbath.” Six days a week, he said, he loved nothing more than playing basketball and he gladly gave all he had to the game. On the seventh day, he loved being Jewish more than he loved playing basketball, and he just as gladly gave all he had to the Sabbath. Sure, he felt a tug, but that was the whole point. Sabbath was his chance to remember what was really real. Once three stars were visible in the Friday night sky, his identity as a Jew was more real to him than his identity as the star of our basketball team."
It is essential for Christians to create regular, intentional spaces of time in which we do not work, e-mail, fax, clean, or do laundry.
A time when we allow our hearts to settle and the voices to hush. Sabbath is a time when we remember that God made the world and rested; that He calls us to rest with him, to hear his voice, to be aware of his presence.
And it is a time to remember, according to the Hebrew Testament teaching on Sabbath and Jubilee, that there will be a day when all peoples of the world will rest—not just the ones who can financially afford to take a day off.
Sabbath-keeping reminds us that we are pilgrims in a foreign land, awaiting the world to become what the world was meant to be.
We remember vividly that, although God made the world, the world is not the way God made it.
When we keep Sabbath, we proclaim to the rest of the world that God is about the business of making things new. God needs a way of reminding us that we are no longer in Egypt, stacking bricks for the Empire. If busyness and idolatry plague our collective life, Sabbath is a means by which we can become more like the person God created us to be.
For the last few years, I’ve rigorously worked to keep a full Sabbath day in my weekly schedule.
It hasn’t always been easy.
Deaths, births, tragedies, miracles, and mundane duties of life show little regard for my personal desire to rest.
Slowly, over time, when those things occur on Sabbath, I’m tempted to jump in and fix everything. Sometimes, when the circumstances demand, I have to get involved. Most of the time, however, keeping Sabbath convicts me that the world can run just fine without me. I see a clear role for myself in the divine story. I am important in this narrative, but I’m not the main point or the main character. Sabbath teaches me this.
Whole. Rested. Listening. Attentive. Cleansed.
This is what Sabbath is about. It creates the space in our lives for us to remember who we are. To remember that we are players in a different story.
Americans work hard. Maybe too hard.
This is an invitation to Jews, Hindus, Muslims, Atheists, Agnostics, Buddhists, and Christians.
One day a week. Rest. For God’s sake.

Rejection of Christ, Rejection of the law of God
Two days before the Passover, when Christ had for the last time departed from the temple, after denouncing the hypocrisy of the Jewish rulers, He again went out with His disciples to the Mount of Olives and seated Himself with them upon the grassy slope overlooking the city. Once more He gazed upon its walls, its towers, and its palaces. Once more He beheld the temple in its dazzling splendor, a diadem of beauty crowning the sacred mount.
