There have been many conflicting reports about eggs. Eggs are my favourite. I could eat one everyday but recently I have stopped eating egg yolks (which I like the best) because my Doctor said I have to watch my cholesterol level. Now I read an article in Chatelaine Magazine which is saying the opposite. The article makes sense here is what it says

Despite popular belief, eggs are actually low in fat, with less than one gram and only 70 calories each. The yolk of an egg has a considerable amount of cholesterol and lipids, but cholesterol build-up in the arteries actually begins with arterial wall damage. The body’s repair of this eventually leads to a waxy build-up — usually due to sugar and saturated fat, not the consumption of cholesterol itself.
Some studies show that eggs may actually benefit those with high cholesterol, due to their omega fats, protein and antioxidants. Eggs also contain high amounts of lecithin, which blocks the cholesterol in the egg and stops intestinal absorption, keeping it out of the bloodstream.
