Eating eggs was once thought to be as bad as smoking cigarettes. But a new study debunks that idea.
A study published in the journal Heart, says eating a whole egg per day may actually lower your chance of developing cardiovascular disease. Researchers found a 26 percent decrease in the risk of hemorrhagic stroke, a 28 percent decrease in hemorrhagic stroke death, an 18 percent decrease in death resulting from cardiovascular disease, and a 12 percent decrease in ischemic heart disease.
