For years, eggs have sparked debate in the nutrition world. Once criticized as cholesterol-heavy and linked to heart disease, they were avoided by many. But modern research tells a different story.
This article explores the true benefits—and a few possible downsides—of eating eggs, whether you like them scrambled, boiled, or raw.
Is It Harmful to Eat Eggs Every Day?

Past dietary advice warned against eating too many eggs due to their cholesterol content—about 186 mg per large egg, mostly in the yolk. However, newer studies show that for most people, dietary cholesterol doesn’t drastically impact blood cholesterol levels.
In fact, healthy individuals can typically enjoy one or even two eggs daily without increasing their risk of heart disease.
