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

Verdict: One to two eggs a day is safe for most healthy adults.
