    I've never believed the yolk was bad for you, I could never understand why so many people believed that.

    Also, this thread has really made me want to go make an omelette for dinner.

    I want to try duck eggs

    Are they are jam packed full of goodness as a hen's egg?

    I do however bin the 80% of my yolks simply due to the calories

    Thank you for that post! I've often times questioned if I was doing myself a favor or more harm then good, by eating a whole egg most mornings vs. a couple of egg whites (especially because I have high cholesterol in my family). I'm also going to switch to organic eggs as well. If I'm doing that for the bread and peanut butter, might as well do it all organic :) thanks again - very helpful.

    Whole foods in general are better. Each part of the whole is always made to complement or balance the rest. Take something away and you are missing out.

    Studies are now showing that natural fats from eggs and cheeses, etc. are not the bad guys when it comes to heart disease it is the chemical filled processed meats and other junk that we put into our bodies that is killing us.

    we have ducks as well and the yolk is even more orange than the chicken eggs, they pretty much taste the same to me

    also, if I recall, eggs contain all of the amino acids essential for our bodies

    Lovely article. I totally agree with it. There's little to no evidence that dietary cholesterol influences serum cholesterol except in certain small populations (type 1 diabetics for example). I eat a whole egg just about every morning for breakfast. I consider them one of nature's superfoods.

    Could never understand why people only ate the white, the yolk is the tastiest bit!

    Also while I was pregnant and the morning sickness stopped me eating alot of foods eggs were my go to food, my doctor encouraged me to eat as many as I needed.

    We have our own hens so nice cheap health food . If you have any ground space at all get a few. They are great for eating up left overs you may have in the kitchen. Kids love looking after them too x

    I do half and half. If I have 6 eggs three of them are whites three are whole.

    I didn't read the entire post (will do it later) but I love eating whole eggs. I usually mix egg whites (to add extra protein without calories) with whole eggs.

    Eating whole eggs is healthy IMO.
