Eggs Directory
Eggs -- the subject of much health controversy. You probably heard that eggs can raise cholesterol, but they are also a good source of protein. When not eaten excessively, eggs are a nutritious part of a healthy diet (unless you have an egg allergy, of course). Eggs should be prepared carefully to avoid spreading salmonella, a bacteria found in some eggs. Pasteurized eggs are always your best option. Follow the links below to find WebMD's comprehensive coverage about eggs, nutrition information, safety tips, and more.
