For decades, egg yolks were blamed for raising cholesterol and harming heart health.
As a result, many
people threw away the yolk and ate only the whites.
Today, the science
looks more nuanced.
Egg yolks contain
important nutrients such as choline, vitamin B12, selenium, vitamin D, and
lutein. Research suggests that for most
healthy people, eating eggs in moderation has little effect on cardiovascular
risk.
That’s because blood
cholesterol is influenced by many factors, including genetics, overall diet,
body weight, physical activity, and lifestyle habits.
Eggs are also one of
the highest-quality protein sources available, making them a popular choice for
breakfast, muscle recovery, and healthy aging.
The egg didn’t
change.
