For the longest time bad things were being said about eggs, things that at some point I was believing. Eggs were said to be contributing to the cholesterol that people were being diagnosed from.

Now, I couldn’t eat eggs for two years straight because I had an allergic reaction to them. That was a sad time for me, because sometimes I would watch the family eat them and I couldn’t. The frustrating thing is that I didn’t understand the medical explanation behind. How is it possible that a person could eat eggs the rest of their life, and all of a sudden, seriously react to eating them? They said it was the yolk? Anyway, back to the goodness of eggs . . .

Today, I am going to set a record about the good and the ugly about eggs.

It turns out that eggs are a good source of high quality proteins, vitamins and minerals. This is very good news for vegetarians because they benefit from the vitamin b12 found in eggs as they don’t consume meat, so they lose  out on the vitamin b12 from meat. Vitamin b12 is vital for the functioning of all cells, especially the bone marrow, nervous system and the gastrointestinal tract.

It is a known fact that egg yolk contains lecithin. Lecithin is basically a type of fat that provides the body with choline. Choline is an important component for all membranes in the body.

Eggs are also a source of dietary cholesterol, which is why a lot of people, including health experts thought that eggs were the enemy when it comes to cholesterol. It has become clear though in recent years that the saturated hard fats found in sausages and fatty meats is what has the greatest impact on blood cholesterol.

Even with the knowledge we have, experts are still recommending cholesterol to a 300g daily consumption. People who suffer from coronary heart disease or who have a history of coronary disease in their family should not consume more than 200mg of cholesterol a day.

So how do you know how much eggs to consume in a week?

Here is a guideline, a single large egg consists of about 230mg of cholesterol. So in essence, you do not want to eat eggs more than 4 times a week. even for egg freaks like me, that is still great news.

So go on, you can enjoy your eggs with your breakfast, just make sure you prepare them healthily. I personally prefer fried eggs, even I know that boiling them is the healthier option.  On my cheat days, I fry them, with olive oil.

So the lesson is, eggs are not the enemy!
