Accepted Answer

No: Although eggs are a good source of protein, like anything else they are good in moderation.  If you had 2 eggs a day you would be surpassing normal cholesterol dietary intake by just eating the eggs.  Not to mention if you are frying them that adds to damage.

Mostly the white : The whites of eggs are all protein, and so perfectly healthy.  The yolk is made of cholesterol and other protein.

If one is high risk for cardiovascular disease, follow your doctor's recommendation on this.
