Do you still think of eggs as nutritional no-nos?

I don't and since eggs are the seventh in foods that contain cholesterol. The top six are various types of brains. That should lead you to question, if brains contain so much cholesterol, What is its function and why would you want to reduce cholesterol by taking statins? Don't listen to me, I'm just confusing the brainwashing your doctors are giving you.

Do you still think of eggs as nutritional no-nos? A growing body of research scrambles the old thinking that eggs raise the risk of heart disease. One egg does contain 186 milligrams cholesterol, but an analysis of two large studies found that healthy people who ate eggs didn't have an increased risk of heart disease or stroke.
"The amount that an egg a day would raise your blood cholesterol levels is actually pretty small," says Walter Willett, MD, DrPH, professor of epidemiology and nutrition at the Harvard School of Public Health. The American Heart Association recommends healthy adults stick to about an egg a day, but that's an average. Two eggs every other day are fine, too, Willett says.
It's eggs-cellent news, given that eggs, at only 70 calories each, are inexpensive, a snap to prepare, popular with kids, and packed with 6 grams of protein. The protein may even make eggs a good choice if you're trying to slim down. In one recent study, participants ate breakfasts of either eggs or wheat cereal with nearly identical calories and protein. The people who ate eggs felt fuller and ate less at lunch.
