For decades, eggs have applied at the center of heated health debates. Are they a powerful ingredient or a cholesterol bomb? Many Europeans still feel unsure about whether they should eat eggs daily. It’s time to discover the truth.
Here are five common myths about eggs, suggested by modern science and expert recommendations from across Europe.
Myth 1: Eggs Raise Your Cholesterol Dangerously
This is perhaps the most popular myth — and it’s outdated.
Yes, egg yolks consist of cholesterol (about 185 mg per yolk), but studies find that for most people, dietary cholesterol has little effect on bl00d cholesterol levels.
According to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), saturated fat — not cholesterol in foods — is more responsible for increasing harmful LDL cholesterol. Eggs are actually high in HDL (“good”) cholesterol, which helps protect your heart.
Verdict: One to two eggs a day is safe for most healthy adults.
