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.
