Are Eggs Really So Bad?

Borrowed from Orlando Sentinel Health & Fitness article by Chris Woolston:
	"Eggs are a lot healthier than many people realize", says Maria Luz Fernandez, professor of nutritional sciences at the University of Connecticut in Storrs. She says egg yolks contain highly absorbable lutein & zeaxanthin, antioxidants that are, also, anti-inflammatory in nature, and the egg white is loaded with high-quality protein! Besides the often-maligned cholesterol in eggs seems to have little effect on a person's levels of cholesterol or triglycerides, she adds. Fernandez says, "the average person can have 1-2 eggs a day with no worries." And eggs can be a smart way to start your day, Dr. David Heber, chief of clinical nutrition at UCLA, says. "There's a great deal of evidence that eating protein at breakfast is good for you," he says. "It will satisfy your hunger better than a cup of "joe" & a bagel."
I love eggs, and frequently have them for breakfast!  I usually make an omelet with healthy ingredients such as, kale pesto, bitter melon(small amount), onions, tomatoes, mushrooms, & cheese(small amount); whatever I have handy.-Omni Girl
