On BBC breakfast this morning, there was a discussion on why eggs are now back in favour. I recall many years ago when we were told only eat one a day due to cholesterol, whereas now we understand that dietary cholesterol has no or minimal impact on blood cholesterol.
I personally think they are great as part of a healthy paleo-controlled diet. I have them most days for breakfast and have at least half a dozen. They are one of nature's most complete food sources in terms of macronutrient balance and bio-availability. My cholesterol levels have never been healthier.
