MYTH #1: Eggs raise your cholesterol

 Today, research shows that up to 1 egg per day is safe for healthy individuals.

 If you’re generally healthy and eat a balanced diet, even daily egg consumption can fit into your routine.

 MYTH #3: White eggs are healthier than brown ones

 Not true! Shell color has nothing to do with nutrition or quality. It only depends on the breed of the hen.

 Brown and white eggs have the same taste and nutrient profile.

 MYTH #4: Just eat the whites, the yolk is too fatty

 Yes, the yolk contains fat, but it’s also where most of the nutrients are:

• Vitamins A and D

• Phosphorus, iron, selenium

• Choline, essential for brain and memory function

 Egg whites are a great source of protein, but the yolk completes the egg’s nutritional value.

Eggs can absolutely be part of a healthy, balanced diet.  Just make sure to keep your meals varied, choose whole foods, and stay active!
