For decades, eggs were seen as unhealthy because of their

cholesterol content. In the 1980s and 1990s, experts

warned they could raise blood cholesterol and heart disease risk,

leading many households to avoid them in favor of substitutes.

Today, research shows a different picture. For most healthy people,

dietary cholesterol has little effect on blood cholesterol.

Heart disease is more strongly tied to trans fats, added sugars, and processed carbs. Studies now confirm

that one to two eggs daily are safe and may even benefit health.

Eggs are nutrient-rich and affordable. Each egg provides

all nine essential amino acids, making it a complete protein

for muscle growth and repair. They’re packed with vitamins A, D, E, B12, selenium, iodine, and folate.

Choline supports brain function and fetal development,

while antioxidants lutein and zeaxanthin protect eye health.

At just 70 calories per large egg, they are filling and

can help reduce cravings. Pasture-raised eggs add omega-3s and vitamin D,

boosting heart and immune health. Versatile in cooking—boiled,

scrambled, poached, or baked—eggs have gone from dietary

villain to superfood. Nutritious, satisfying, and inexpensive,

they’re now celebrated as a staple of a balanced diet.
