If you love eggs but still feel a bit guilty when you eat them, here's some happy news: eat your eggs with a smile, because they're good for you.

Nutrition recommendations have lifted the cloud over eggs and the thinking now is that an egg a day is OK.

For much of the past 40 years the public has been warned away from eggs because of the risk of heart disease. Unhealthy serum cholesterol levels have, after all, been linked to increased risk of cardiovascular disease, and eggs are relatively high in dietary cholesterol.

Cholesterol is made naturally in the bodies of all animals and humans. It is necessary for the production of hormones and vitamin D, and to keep cell walls healthy. The liver makes most of the cholesterol needed by the human body so you shouldn't have to worry about getting enough from your food.
