Eggs are one of the most nutritious foods that you can eat. They have a bad reputation because of their high cholesterol content and the fat fear from the 80s and 90s, but their benefits outweigh the potential risks. Healthy bodies can generally compensate for the cholesterol we consume, so we end up with only the good stuff - protein, amino acids, iron, B vitamins, selenium, choline, lutein, & phosphorous - making eggs a bit of a secret superfood. (At least according to Healthline.)
