10 Health Benefits of Eggs
1. Eggs are great for the eyes. According to one study, an egg a day may prevent macular degeneraton due to the carotenoid content, specifically lutein and zeaxanthin. Both nutrients are more readily available to our bodies from eggs than from other sources.
2. In another study, researchers found that people who eat eggs every day lower their risk of developing cataracts, also because of the lutein and zeaxanthin in eggs.
3. One egg contains 6 grams of high-quality protein and all 9 essential amino acids.
4. According to a study by the Harvard School of Public Health, there is no significant link between egg consumption and heart disease. In fact, according to one study, regular consumption of eggs may help prevent blood clots, stroke, and heart attacks.
5. They are a good source of choline. One egg yolk has about 300 micrograms of choline. Choline is an important nutrient that helps regulate the brain, nervous system, and cardiovascular system.
6. They contain the right kind of fat. One egg contains just 5 grams of fat and only 1.5 grams of that is saturated fat.
7. New research shows that, contrary to previous belief, moderate consumption of eggs does not have a negative impact on cholesterol. In fact, recent studies have shown that regular consumption of two eggs per day does not affect a person's lipid profile and may, in fact, improve it. Research suggests that it is saturated fat that raises cholesterol rather than dietary cholesterol.
8. Eggs are one of the only foods that contain naturally occurring vitamin D.
9. Eggs may prevent breast cancer. In one study, women who consumed at least 6 eggs per week lowered their risk of breast cancer by 44%.
10. Eggs promote healthy hair and nails because of their high sulphur content and wide array of vitamins and minerals. Many people find their hair growing faster after adding eggs to their diet, especially if they were previously deficient in foods containing sulphur or B12.

here's an article about the cholesterol that the eggs contain.......
source--->Are eggs bad for your heart?
The average Australian eats about three eggs a week, which isn't that many. Since the 1960s, doctors have linked high blood cholesterol with clogged arteries and our number one killer, heart disease, so avoiding foods rich in cholesterol, like eggs, seems like the right thing to do … or is it? Dr Andrew Rochford puts his medical know-how where his mouth is to find out if eggs are bad for our heart and if there is a limit to how many we should be eating.
Dr Wanda Howell, professor of nutritional sciences at the University of Arizona in the USA, has analysed over a hundred studies to do with cholesterol and she's learned that we can't live without it.
"It's an essential component of every cell membrane in the body. And that's the reason our body makes most of the cholesterol that is produced and maybe ends up in our bloodstream", she says.
We actually make two types of cholesterol to transport saturated fats around the body — LDL and HDL. LDL acts to clog up our artery walls. While the good guy, HDL works to clean up the mess, by helping to excrete saturated fats via the liver. So we want to have high HDL and low LDL.
We know that eggs are loaded with cholesterol, but does it have more of the bad stuff or the good stuff?
It's time for Andrew to give this a test.
The test: Andrew will eat four eggs a day, yolks and all, for two weeks.
This roughly works out to be about nine times the average Aussie consumption. Therefore, if his cholesterol goes up, then it's bad for the eggs and your heart.
Before getting started on the experiment, Andrew has to first check his cholesterol level with a mobile cholesterol testing unit. Andrew drops some of his blood onto a slip, pops it into the machine and it reads the cholesterol level in just three minutes.
A reading above four runs on the high side so anything under four is within the healthy range.
First reading: Andrew's starting cholesterol level is sitting on 3.8, just below the level recommended by the Heart Foundation.
Two weeks later...
Following a high-egg diet, Andrew has found the perfect company to do his second cholesterol test with.
Oscar Mcgill is an 18-year-old body builder who's training for the world championships and he eats a lot of eggs — 18 a day! Oscar will also have his cholesterol level taken.
Andrew's result: Low. Andrew's cholesterol levels have actually fallen under 3.8, in fact, they are so low the machine doesn't have a number for it.
Oscar's result: Low also. Another great result, from a bloke whose diet is totally dominated by eggs.
Eggs are rich in nutrients, low in fat, and high in protein. But you shouldn't eat so many that you miss out on other nutritional goodies.
But if eggs are so good for us, what are the foods causing all the damage, contributing to higher cholesterol, and therefore causing heart disease?
Dietitian Sharon Natoli lays the blame at the feet of saturated fats.
"Saturated fat is the type of fat that increases the level of cholesterol in your bloodstream so that's the type that really makes a difference in terms of health if you can cut that down. And we know that the average Australian diet contains twice as much saturated fat as what's ideal," says Natoli.
Saturated fats are often in all those foods we love to eat — cakes, full-cream dairy products, fatty meats and takeaways. Here's how they wreak havoc:
Saturated fats cause the body to produce more LDL (the bad cholesterol), the more we produce, the more clogged up our arteries become, and the harder the HDL (good cholesterol), has to work to clean up the mess. Therefore when it gets too hard, a heart attack can result.
According to Brisbane cardiologist Dr Karam Kostner, about 70 people in Australia will have a heart attack every day and bad cholesterol is one of the main risk factors for having these heart attacks.
He believes that eating eggs can actually lower cholesterol levels because they're high in cholesterol but low in saturated fats.
"People who eat a lot of eggs actually shut down their bodies production of cholesterol. So the more eggs somebody eats, the less cholesterol our body produces. So that's why a lot of people who eat a lot of eggs don't get heart disease necessarily," he says.
If you've got a high cholesterol reading, you can reduce it by up to 30 percent in less than six weeks, simply by modifying your diet by including plenty of high fibre foods, lean meats and low-fat dairy.
So it's all good news for egg lovers. Eating eggs won't give you high cholesterol. In fact, eggs are full of high-quality proteins, vitamins and minerals and should be a part of any healthy diet.
