Eggs - Are They In or Out?
Eating foods rich in choline and betaine may help reduce the risk of inflammation that can increase risk of heart disease. Choline and betaine are nutrients found in eggs
as well as beef, salmon, broccoli and cauliflower. Worried about the cholesterol in eggs? Don’t be. A review of studies from the past 30 years published in the journal, Nutrition Bulletin, concluded that eating eggs daily does not significantly raise blood cholesterol. And a recent study with 9500 people showed that eating one or more eggs a day does not increase risk of heart disease or stroke in healthy adults.

This is a good point. I am a dietitian myself and totally agree with the fact that eggs are very good for health. We, Indians eat very less protein for breakfast and hence have high carbohydrate based breakfast. Eggs are good fillers in the morning and can cut down a lot of office junk snacking.
