Eggs are probably one of the world's cheapest sources of high-quality protein: one egg contains about 70 calories, yet provides about 6 grams of complete protein containing all nine essential amino acids, as well as various vitamins, minerals, and choline, which is important for the brain and liver. It is also one of the most misunderstood foods of the past thirty years\u2014the idea that "eating eggs will raise cholesterol" has led many people to only eat egg whites for breakfast, discarding the yolk, where the nutrients are most concentrated.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

This article clarifies the controversy: the nutritional value of eggs, the respective findings of two key studies published in JAMA in 2019 and BMJ in 2020, the appropriate daily egg count for healthy adults and different ethnic groups, and a more practical question\u2014More important than the number of pills consumed is the cooking method and side dishes.<\/b>The article also summarizes food safety tips regarding Salmonella and situations where it is necessary to consult a doctor first.<\/p>\n

Why are eggs called a "superfood"?<\/h2>\n

Let's first clarify a common misunderstanding:"Superfood" is not a rigorous academic term, nor is it any officially recognized food category.<\/b>It's not a common term for foods with high nutrient density, but rather a general term used by the public. Food regulatory agencies in many regions have strict restrictions on the commercial use of this term precisely because it can easily mislead people into believing that a certain food has miraculous effects.<\/p>\n
