Facts On Eggs
Eggs are one of the nature’s simplest but yet most complete foods: They are a good source of protein as well as vitamins. A medium sized egg contains 5g of fat, most of it mono-unsaturated. As an egg has about 200mg of cholesterol, heart patients were advised not to take it in the past. But current studies show little association between egg intake and the risk of coronary heart disease, as the dietary cholesterol eggs contain only has small a effect on the blood cholesterol levels. Recent dietary guidelines recommend three eggs per week for a healthy adult.
