Are eggs healthy to consume?
Go to Nutritionfacts.org. Go to the menu and click the search bar and enter “eggs”. A plethora of different videos and other information might surprise you. Start with this video:

The USDA, until recently did not allow egg sellers to label their product nutritious, healthy or safe. It appears that the American Egg Board defeated this directive by sponsoring studies that intentionally misrepresented their findings and also designed studies that hid the fact that egg consumption raised blood cholesterol. Because of this, egg producers can now claim that eggs are safe to eat and contain “better nutrition”.
Besides heart disease, you will also find videos that show the connection between egg consumption and both breast and prostate cancer. Dr. Michael Greger, who created this most important website, knows his stuff and backs up his videos with solid, peer reviewed research. I believe Nutritionfacts.org is a monumentally important source of information regarding nutrition and the connection between what we eat and how it affects our heath and how certain foods contribute to human disease.
Personally, I haven’t eaten an egg or foods that contain them in over 9 years. I stopped eating eggs (and almost all animal derived foods) on October 25th, 2015 to be precise. Before that day I was consuming eggs on a daily basis; they were a large part of my diet because I thought they were safe and beneficial in terms of my weight training program and building muscle mass. I was wrong. What made me stop on the dime? On October 24th, 2015 I was diagnosed with prostate cancer.
So maybe the high price of eggs is a blessing in disguise for the American public.
Look at the research and come to your own conclusions.
