Why you should definitely eat eggs

Eggs have gotten a lot of negative rap over the years, but most, if not all, are just fabrications.

The main reason why people stay away from eggs is because it is said to have cholesterol, therefore it is bad for the body, however, this is not the case.

The fact is that our bodies make lots of cholesterol, 5-10 times the cholesterol in a large egg.

So, what happens is that when you eat more cholesterol from foods like eggs, your body produces less of it, and when you eat less cholesterol from foods like eggs, your body produces more.

Due to the fear of cholesterol from eggs, people remove egg yolks from their diet not realizing that they contain 90 percent of the calcium, iron, phosphorus, zinc, thiamin, B6, folate, pantothenic acid and B12 of the egg.
