Eggs really are good for you, yolk and all. The yolk contains nearly half the protein in an egg. It also contains the cholesterol but cholesterol in our food isn't what raises blood cholesterol. Saturated and trans fats do that, but eggs contain just a small amount of saturated fat and no trans fat. Egg yolk colour is an indicator of the type of feed the chicken ate. For example, the hens in central Canada are fed a corn-based diet which makes the yolks in their eggs a darker yellow than the hens in western Canada who dine on a wheat-based diet. Yet the nutritional value of the eggs is the same. You’re right! Eggs really are good for you, yolk and all. The yolk contains nearly half the protein in an egg.
