For years, eggs have sparked debate—are they a “superfood” or a cholesterol risk? New studies suggest that eating up to three eggs a day can benefit most healthy people. Packed with high-quality protein and more than a dozen nutrients like vitamin D, B12, iron, and choline, eggs support muscle repair, brain function, and eye health.
Their mix of protein and healthy fats also helps “control hunger,” which can lower total calorie intake. While eggs contain cholesterol, research shows they tend to raise “good HDL cholesterol” instead of harming heart health.
Still, experts warn that people with diabetes or genetic cholesterol disorders should be cautious, especially if their diets are already high in saturated fats.
Cooking method also matters. “Boiled or poached eggs are healthier than fried ones,” as they avoid excess oils and fats.
Overall, eggs remain a nutritious and affordable food choice when eaten in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
