What This Means for You
If you’ve been avoiding eggs because you’re worried about cholesterol, the evidence suggests you can relax. For most healthy people, eating one or more eggs per day is safe and can even support better health.
Eggs are packed with:
High-quality protein
Choline (important for brain health)
Vitamin D
Vitamin B12
Selenium
Lutein (good for eye health)
They’re nutrient-dense, inexpensive, and incredibly versatile.
A gentle note: If you have diabetes or existing heart conditions, it’s always wise to check with your doctor about how many eggs
