Yes, eggs are healthy! The British Heart Foundation used to recommend that people should limit their egg consumption to no more than 3 a week because they contain cholesterol, known to raise the risk of heart attack. Now, in a paper written for the British Nutrition Foundation, experts set out the definitive evidence showing there is no link between egg consumption and an increased risk of heart disease.


A study supports previous research, published in the Journal of the American College of Nutrition, which showed that people who ate eggs for breakfast felt more satisfied and ate fewer calories at the following meal.
