First, eggs do not raise your cholesterol. It's a common myth that's been debunked time and again. Doctors used to think eggs would raise your cholesterol because they are high in cholesterol but what we are found over the year is your body has a negative feedback loop. Which basically means the more cholesterol you eat, the less it naturally produces. And the less cholesterol you eat, the more it produces. So, if you are health y and strong and don't have any pre-existing cholesterol issues, you have no reason to worry about eggs negatively impacting your cholesterol.
Aside from that, eggs have so many vitamins and minerals and overall health benefits it's mind boggling. There's always research saying everything but the most well performed, peer reviewed studies show eggs help reduce weight, maintain a healthy body composition, increase your HDL cholesterol (the good thing), tremendously improve your eye health and a hell of a lot more.
