Eggs have been demonized because their yolks which are chock full of nutrients contain high levels of cholesterol. Does that scare you? It shouldn't because eating foods high in cholesterol does not directly translate to increased cholesterol levels in your body. More to the point in clinical trials, no association was found between eggs and cardiovascular disease, except maybe in some people with specific pre existing conditions, such as diabetes, or hyperglycemia. Here's a short summary of what studies have shown. In healthy people eating even six eggs a day doesn't seem to adversely affect blood lipids.

Some studies note no change in HDL, LDL cholesterol, and some not only a very small increase. Also in healthy people x have never been directly associated with an increase in cardiovascular risks. And such an increase was always merely assumed from the increase in circulating cholesterol in unhealthy or overweight people. Consumption might negatively affect block levels of cholesterol and lipid proteins, but we still need more evidence for this. This means eggs are a great source of proteins, fats and other nutrients and their association with high cholesterol and cardiovascular disease has been severely overblown
