This blog posting from The New York Times Well blog cites a recent study which indicates that eggs are not as unhealthy as you may have been led to believe. According to a study reported by the University of California at Berkeley, the cholesterol in eggs only raises the blood cholesterol for only about one-third of the population. Even so, in those people, the bad cholesterol (LDL) in eggs causes the body to produced good cholesterol (HDL) in response, in effect partially off-setting the unhealthy aspect of eating eggs.
The study also did not find any link between eating eggs and heart disease (except for people with diabetes) or stroke.
Go enjoy a fluffy omelette, and don't worry about ordering it with egg whites.
