you cannot get that level of TMAO in your blood by eating four eggs which supplies the same amount of choline how do I know because Steve and Cecil's group did a study looking at plasma TMAO response to eggs and if you eat enough eggs you get a plasma TMAO response but it's three or four times lower than when you eat the same amount of choline as calling bitartrate
Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
