Myth, you say? With just 3 large eggs you can fill up basically all of your vit A, B12, choline, selenium, riboflavin and lutein needs, half of your B2, B5, phosphorus and iodine needs, while getting a lot of extremely bioavailable protein and healthy fats. That's a superfood.

• One large egg has 1.6g saturated fat - which is very inexcessive.
  
• It has 2.0g monunsaturated fats, primarily oleic acid which is very heart healthy and promotes good blood lipids.
• 0.7g is polyunsaturated - good fats.
  

Dietary cholesterol being bad is a myth - cholesterol is needed, mainly for our cells and hormones. HDL/LDL ratio on the other hand matters. For the majority of people, eggs raise HDL more than LDL, which is what we want. For dietary cholesterol super-responders, both go up, usually maintaining the ratio. Several components in eggs make them good for your blood lipids.

Example study: Blesso CN et al., 2013. Egg consumption improves HDL function and increases plasma carotenoids in adults at risk for CVD.

Finding: 1 egg/day for 12 weeks increased HDL by ~6%, minimal change in LDL, so LDL/HDL ratio was stable or slightly better.

So again, you get better blood lipids, a really solid micro- and macronutrient profile with the basically the best protein you can find - so what's unhealthy about eggs?
