Once and for all.............Are eggs bad or good, for you ???

Answers:
Eggs are very healthy! They contain significant amounts of 13 different nutrients including vitamin A, riboflavin, folic acid, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, choline, iron, calcium, phosphorus and potassium as well as 7 grams of protein per egg.
About 60% of the calories in an egg come from fat about 10 grams of fat. Most of that fat is unsaturated fat. The egg white is water (87%), protein (13%), and little, if any, fat.
Eggs from range feed chickens are very high in Omega 3's fatty acids (good fat): as much as four times as many omega-3 fatty acids, twice as much vitamin E, half the cholestrol and between two and six times as much beta carotene. Make sure you are getting farm fresh range feed chickens, and not chickens that were feed flax seed to increase the omega-3's in their eggs.
Recent studies also suggest that total cholestrol isn't even important as long as your HDL or good cholestrol is double your LDL or bad cholestrol, and I just read that some studies are saying that the human body doesn't even absorb that much fat from eggs.
The Moral to the story... eat eggs!
