Eggs in a Healthy Diet
Monday October 26, 2009
Eggs were taken off of many people's diet food lists because they contain a lot of cholesterol. That's unfortunate, because eggs also contain lots of important nutrients. Actually, there are plenty of studies showing that eating one egg each day will not raise your cholesterol or lower your HDL, so almost everyone can enjoy eggs as part of a healthy diet.

I love eggs so I am glad to hear this! I eat them scrambled most of the time, but they are good prepared in so many different ways.
I read something, somewhere that eggs can actually raise good cholesterol, without raising overall cholesterol. I wish I could remember where I read it. Do you know if that’s true?
I think its really a wonderful news for me because whenever I see egg I feel scared to eat. This kind of problem with me since last five years as soon as found out that I’m hypertension patient with high cholesterol
I have no high fiber toast so I had 5 Medium eggs and I know these are naughty, but the health experts say that 100% fruit juice is bad and yet I love it so I drink it watered down so I consider this like all naughty foods, people go from saying how bad they are for you to saying how healthy, like the expensive nuts are, and yet when I can afford the affordable ones, I buy them and enjoy them, but I try to remember they are naughty so I limit myself since naughtiness helps me to eat less of them to some extent. Eggs have a lot of calories in them also and it takes a few of them to help fill me up.
i love eggs. i think as long as we don’t over eat one thing, we can get the benefits out of it. Eat balance is important.
eggs r unfortunately blamed for their cholesterol content.I think the cholesterol that is contained in an egg is really the daily need of an adult person.I have been taking egg regularly since last so many years (I am 67 yrs old now) without any adverse effect on my cholesterol
Fry up some spinach, onions, cilantro, tomatoes, peppers and throw in some eggs and spice……one of the healthiest meals right there. It’s my staple.
Eating eggs have not caused bad to me at all. Although I know fora fact that eggs contain much cholesterol, but I know as well that I get much nutrients from them. Maybe you just have to moderate your eating. Even in any kind of food, too much is always bad to your health.

This is what makes it so hard for average people (like me) to understand and act on nutritional information reported in the media. Eggs are bad for you! No good for you! No bad! Avoid coffee! No, drink one or two cups a day.
I think for the most part the problem is just lazy, bad reporting. But nutrition is not really a simple science. Perhaps the best approach, after all, is the old saw “All things in moderation.”
