It's deepfried pork lard

I was rendering oil but was lazy to cut the lard into smaller pieces...so end up didn't get much oil

Yes, eggs are fine - they are one of the best sources of protein

Eggs DO NOT raise cholesterol and by the way, it's a myth that high cholesterol can cause heart diseases

It's not exactly a myth.

Taken from http://www.patientlinx.com/highcholesterol/highcholesterosymptoms.cfm

When there is too much cholesterol (a fat-like substance) in your blood, it builds up in the walls of your arteries. Over time, this buildup causes "hardening of the arteries" so that arteries become narrowed and blood flow to the heart is slowed down or blocked. The blood carries oxygen to the heart, and if enough blood and oxygen cannot reach your heart, you may suffer chest pain. If the blood supply to a portion of the heart is completely cut off by a blockage, the result is a heart attack.

"High blood cholesterol itself does not cause symptoms, so many people are unaware that their cholesterol level is too high. It is important to find out what your cholesterol numbers are because lowering cholesterol levels that are too high lessens the risk for developing heart disease and reduces the chance of a heart attack or dying of heart disease, even if you already have it. Cholesterol lowering is important for everyone--younger, middle age, and older adults; women and men; and people with or without heart disease

This is old stuff

There are tons of newer research out that have debunked that

There are 2 types of people in this world. One type that treasures physical appearance more than their health, aka "爱靓唔爱命" type. The other type are those that treasures their life and health more.

 

[kyma]

But then again, for eggs, it is somewhat controversial and/or ambiguous. Some articles do state that although eggs have high cholesterol but they are actually good for health too, in moderation, of course. No matter what, moderation is the key.

High cholesterol is a "disease" because the drug companies want to sell us statins...

Mainstream health authorities are still toeing that line because of what Ancel Keys "found" in the 1970s (I think) - he was the one responsible for drive to eradicate high cholesterol but his actual finding was flawed from the start...

Just google for Gary Taubes and see how he has debunked Keys' assertation with actual scientific studies done quite recently...

Actually, there's another type...people who treasure both their physical appearances and their health...hahah

And it's achieved by low-carbing

The works of Gary Taubes seem rather controversial and personally I would take what he says with a huge pinch of salt.
When it comes down to the line, I would rather believe what mainstream authorities say than what a relatively unknown writer says.

But having said that, it's really up to individuals to believe. As Kyma mentioned, moderation is key.

Even if his findings are all backed by scientific studies?

Or read this...

Even if you have been lied to?

http://livinlavidalowcarb.com/blog/...ic-basis-for-the-u-s-dietary-guidelines/10986

And Gary Taubes is by no means a relatively unknown writer hor...

(From your wiki link)
Taubes has won the Science in Society Journalism Award of the National Association of Science Writers three times and was awarded an MIT Knight Science Journalism Fellowship for 1996-97. He is a Robert Wood Johnson Foundation independent investigator in health policy.

Taubes studied applied physics at Harvard University and aerospace engineering at Stanford University (MS, 1978). After receiving a master's degree in journalism at Columbia University in 1981, Taubes joined Discover magazine as a staff reporter in 1982.
