For decades, eggs were criticized because they contain dietary cholesterol.
However, modern research has shown that for most healthy individuals, moderate egg consumption does not significantly increase the risk of heart disease.
Many experts now believe that factors such as:
- Excessive saturated fat intake
- Processed foods
- Lack of exercise
- Smoking
- Obesity
play a much larger role in cardiovascular risk than consuming one egg per day.
Individuals with specific medical conditions should always follow advice from their healthcare provider.
