Ive heard alot of nonsense about eggs and their supposed negative health impacts due to cholesterol..

here is a study done to show that eating eggs actually benefit health

[h=3]Abstract[/h][h=4]PURPOSE:[/h]<abstracttext label="PURPOSE" nlmcategory="OBJECTIVE">Patients with metabolic syndrome (MBS) have an increased risk of all-cause mortality, especially from cardiovascular disease. Egg phospholipids (PL) have been shown to exert a positive impact on cholesterol metabolism and inflammation; eggs are an important source of PL. Our study examined potential effects of egg-yolk-derived PL in non-diabetic patients with MBS.</abstracttext>
[h=4]METHODS:[/h]<abstracttext label="METHODS" nlmcategory="METHODS">The study group consisted of 40 patients with MBS diagnosed according to IDF criteria and divided into an experimental group receiving the PL preparation (n-6: n-3 fatty acids ratio: 1.79) and the comparison group receiving an olive oil preparation, for one month (2012/2013year). The studied dosage was 45ml (15ml 3 times per day). It was a randomized, double blinded study.</abstracttext>
[h=4]RESULTS:[/h]<abstracttext label="RESULTS" nlmcategory="RESULTS">The waist to hip ratio, GGTP levels, plasma platelet concentrations and flow mediated vasodilation of brachial artery (FMD) significantly improved in the experimental group. A significant decrease in daytime ABPM blood pressure was noticed in both groups.</abstracttext>
[h=4]CONCLUSIONS:[/h]<abstracttext label="CONCLUSIONS" nlmcategory="CONCLUSIONS">A phospholipid-enriched diet caused a significant improvement of endothelial vasodilatory function and a significant decrease in waist to hip ratio. A significant decrease in daytime systolic blood pressure were observed in both the phospholipid-enriched and oil-olive group.</abstracttext>

No matter what anyone says, I am going to avoid eating any egg yolks. White part is ok but the yolk has too much cholesterol per gram of protein you get. I get enough cholesterol from the turkey, chicken, meat and fish I eat.
