Recent reports say eggs are bad.
http://articles.latimes.com/2012/aug...oking-20120814

the National Heart Blood and Lung Institute recommends that to limit their
risk of developing heart disease, Americans limit their cholesterol intake
to no more than 300 mg per day (an egg yolk has just over 200 mg), and eat
no more than four whole eggs weekly, including those in baked goods or
processed foods. Those who already have heart disease, diabetes or high
LDL-cholesterol, or who have had a stroke, should limit their cholesterol to
less than 200 mg per day.
