Are eggs good or bad for you?

Despite decades of advice that the cholesterol in eggs is bad for you, researchers now report evidence that eggs might actually reduce high blood pressure. The scientists found egg proteins that, in laboratory simulations of the human digestive process, seem to be as good as common prescription medications for lowering blood pressure.

And the researchers emphasized that further study is needed to determine if the proteins actually work in humans.
