If you can manage to live long enough in this world, just about anything you learn as "the absolute truth" will be proven wrong, or be reversed. My grandfather, after suffering a heart attack, was told to avoid a certain part of the egg. The white part. Albumen, it was certain, was a primary cause of heart attacks. He could eat as many yolks as he wanted--and did.
