Research reveals egg consumption association with lower risk of CVD

In the past, older people (who are typically the most at risk for CVD) were warned off eggs. However, evidence over the last 20 years has led to major changes in health advice in the UK. The British Heart Foundation says: "there is now no recommended limit on how many eggs people should eat, as long as you eat a varied diet".
