A member asked:
What part of the egg has the healthy benefits?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Mostly the white : The whites of eggs are all protein, and so perfectly healthy. The yolk is made of cholesterol and other protein. Generally this cholesterol does not convert to the 'bad' cholesterol in the body, and i don't believe there is evidence of significant health risks if eggs are eaten in moderation (2-3/wk). If one is high risk for cardiovascular disease, follow your doctor's recommendation on this.
