The "Real" Benefit of Eggs6/4/2010

Egg protein is the gold standard by which all other protein sources are compared and contain virtually every nutritional component necessary in the human diet.  Eggs contain hard to find nutrients like Lutein for the eyes and Choline, which helps, prevent memory loss. Even concerns about cholesterol have been reduced in recent years. Incredibly, eggs remain among the least expensive sources of protein.
