Sure it can. It can even happen in Littleton, a town of 35,000 near the dusty-tan foothills of the Rockies, just southwest of Denver. It was once a small prairie town of gold rushers and traders, where the biggest scare was getting hit by a prairie dog. Now it's a stretched finger of the big city, with aspiring families who don't lock their doors, enclaves with names like Coventry and Raccoon Creek and Bel Flower, scrubland turned into golf courses, houses than run anywhere from $75,000 to $5 million or so.

(One exception is the folks whom doctors call responders, who churn out cholesterol when they eat eggs.) Researchers from Harvard University and Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston went a step further in the study released last week and looked at actual egg consumption among 120,000 nurses and other health professionals with normal cholesterol levels. After eliminating the "bacon effect," the researchers found no link between eggs and heart disease or stroke. The major exception: folks...
