Eggs are in the news again. Is it good news this time or bad news?
Well--it's both.
Yet again, eggs are confusing us all by being nutritious, but associated with certain health risks.
According to recent studies, the news looks good if you're a woman trying to avoid breast cancer; not quite so good if you're a middle aged man who eats more than one a day.
I grew up with the idea that eggs were a healthy way to get protein for breakfast.
Then came the news they had Bad Cholesterol, and many health-conscious folks like me started to avoid them.
Then researchers figured out that the cholesterol in the eggs wasn't all that problematic, and eggs started to look like a great convenient choice again.
I probably eat about 7 eggs a week myself, the kind with a bit of an Omega-3 boost, and don't plan to stop.
