Sorry but I have to dissagree with the complete post. Eggs contribute to coronary heart disease. Animal protein (all forms, including meat and dairy) increase your IGF-1 which feeds potential cancer cells in your body, and we all have those. Chickens are also abused in the process, especially because 99% of eggs come from caged hens. Even if they are 'free range', meaning crammed together in dark rooms, they suffer and live much shorter lives than they would normally. And even if you keep them in your back yard, male chicks are killed because they are not needed. In the industry, they grind the male chicks alive - is that humane? No.
And, eggs are chicken period. Their period, yes. Yum?
