Why No One Can Decide Whether Eggs Are Good or Bad For You

Nutrition studies are like that one person you know who says one thing one moment and then turns around and says the complete opposite. Coffee can disrupt your sleep and give you some unpleasant gut problems, but on the other hand, drinking a few cuppas will extend your life. Wine has the perplexing capability of both extending and shortening one's life. And chocolate goes between sugar villain to "one square a day" cult status (which in itself is baffling, what normal human stops at just one square of chocolate?).

But nothing has created quite the stir and volleying between good and bad than eggs

"It's been so hard to show the harm from eggs in the United States," Pop culture's insistence that an egg formed a normal part of a breakfast means that it's been hard to change popular opinion about eggs being potentially bad for health. "If you feed your children eggs, they're going to grow up with the idea that eggs are enjoyable."

While eggs are often described as a great source of protein, Spence said that the Mediterranean diet is the best for its nutritional benefits, long livelihood, and vegetable-heavy diet, doesn't look at egg yolks as a good source of protein but rather egg whites. "Egg whites are fine but they're boring," he admitted, though he suggested that egg white substitutes had made advances in flavor.

People think eggs are good because of the marketing of the American Egg Board, which gives out $200,000 grants to fund studies."
