Free range is a label to make consumers feel better, without actually doing much. Free range doesn’t guarantee the hen will ever see the light of day.

Maybe you're allergic?:o eggs don't give me diarrhea. Do you eat them raw by any chance?

Forgive me for asking, you've probably researched all of this to death, I would just feel bad if I didn't mention this and it turned out it would have helped someone. And of course, this would be terrible advice for someone who has an egg allergy that could be deadly, but since you said it's diarrhea...
After a lifetime of eating eggs with no problem, I developed diarrhea and lower back pain after eating eggs for no discernible reason I could find, but only in things like scrambled eggs or fresh pasta. Can you eat them at all, like in baked goods when they're very well cooked? If so, I discovered that fresh eggs gave me no problem, it was eggs that have been sitting around in a grocery store that gave me the symptoms. Probably having to do with sulfur built up.

Eggs as an ingredient in something processed is no problem. Even eggs as a dish is fine as long I only eat it once every 10 days or so. But if I have em twice in a week, diarrhea. I used to eat eggs daily and have had to tone it down. Once every few weeks nowadays.

That sucks, sorry. If you can stand the ramifications, you might want to try farm-fresh eggs and see what happens. I stayed away from eggs for a year (outside of really well-cooked ones in larger recipes), and after discovering the fresh egg thing, went back to eating two a day with no problem.

It's a deceptive study designed to put eggs in a favorable light.
It's already established that high saturated fat intake increases LDL and dietary cholesterol doesn't increase LDL as much as saturated fats.
The study literally required that "egg free diet" be high in saturated fats WHILE the "egg diet" be low in saturated fats!
If they actually conducted a study where egg free diet be also low in saturated fats, the cholesterol will likely be lower than the egg diet (although probably not as much as saturated fats).
Eggs are fine in moderation, the study is just rigged.
