The Gospel of Good Cooking

Eggs are good for you, no they are bad . . . and now, they're good again! I happen to believe eggs are overall a great food to consume given the nutrients and omegas.

Check out the The Gospel of Good Cooking for an article on the egg. Here's an excerpt:

"It seems like it wasn't that long ago that eggs were considered to be white orbs of death. Being chock full of cholesterol, they supposedly caused high cholesterol and all kinds of problems in humans. However eggs contain HDL cholesterol - the 'good' cholesterol we hear so much about - and have not been found to increase 'bad' cholesterol levels at all. Thankfully these days the egg has resumed its rightful place as a delicious and nutritious part of a good diet. Among other things eggs contain all kinds of nutrients and a fair amount of omega-3 fatty acids (if the laying hens have been fed a certain diet).

Eggs are a great source of riboflavin, B12, and choline. They are rich in selenium, lutein, and zeaxanthin (which helps protect the eyes from macular degeneration.) Eggs abound with vitamins in the B family, along with vitamins A and D."
