Eggs have long been a controversial topic in the nutrition world. Initially criticized for their high cholesterol content and links to heart disease, many people avoided them. But modern research tells a different story.

Previous dietary recommendations warned of the risks of eating too many eggs because of the cholesterol in the yolk (about 186 mg per large egg). However, new research shows that for most people, dietary cholesterol does not dramatically affect blood cholesterol levels.

In fact, healthy people can eat one or two eggs a day without any increased risk of heart disease, unless they have a hereditary condition like familial hypercholesterolemia or are on a strict low-cholesterol diet.
