Answers:
Cholesterol and fat

More than half the calories found in eggs come from the fat in the yolk; a 100 gram chicken egg contains approximately 10 grams of fat!. People on a low-cholesterol diet may need to reduce egg consumption, although only 27% of the fat in egg is saturated fat (Palmitic,Stearic and Myristic acids) that contains LDL cholesterol!. The egg white consists primarily of water (87%) and protein (13%) and contains no cholesterol and little, if any, fat!.

There is debate over whether egg yolk presents a health risk!. Some research suggests dietary cholesterol increases the ratio of total to HDL cholesterol and, therefore, adversely affects the body's cholesterol profile; whereas other studies show that moderate consumption of eggs, up to two per day, does not appear to increase heart disease risk in healthy individuals!.Harold McGee argues that the cholesterol in the yolk is not what causes a problem as fat (particularly saturated) is much more likely to raise cholesterol levels than the actual consumption of cholesterol!. A 2007 study of nearly 10,000 adults demonstrated no correlation between moderate (6 per week) egg consumption and cardiovascular disease or strokes except in the sub-population of diabetic patients which presented an increased risk of coronary heart disease!. Other research supports the idea that a high egg intake increases cardiovascular risk in diabetic patients!.However, some "no correlation" findings have come under attack by independent observers for flawed methodology and financial ties to the egg industry!.

Contamination

A study by the U!.S!. Department of Agriculture in 2002 (Risk Analysis April 2002 22(2):203-18) suggests the problem is not as prevalent as once thought!. It showed that of the 69 billion eggs produced annually only 2!.3 million are contaminated with salmonella - equivalent to just one in every 30,000 eggs - thus showing that salmonella infection is quite rarely induced by eggs!. However, this has not been the case in other countries where Salmonella enteritidis and Salmonella typhimurium infections due to egg consumptions are major concerns

Egg shells act as hermetic seals which guard against bacteria entering, but this seal can be broken through improper handling or if laid by unhealthy chickens!. Most forms of contamination enter through such weaknesses in the shell!.

Eggs are horrible!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Eggs are the perfect food!. There is absolutely NO scientific evidence to support that eggs cause ANY damage to the body (ie!. cholesterol)!. Anything else is merely speculation and modern-day superstition, perpetuated by doctors who push their low-fat agendas on their patientsWww@FoodAQ@Com

Only if the hens have been eating paracetamol, then you have to stick to the normal paracetamol dosing or you risk liver failure!.
