Eggcellent news!

The much-maligned egg is making a comeback.  YES!  And for good reason.  Besides being rich in vitamins and minerals, eggs are packed with six grams of protein and all nine essential amino acids. 

They are an excellent source of choline, vital for fetal and infant brain development.  Which is also good for boosting memory and brain function for those of us who have been out of the uterus for a while. 

This power-packed product is rich in lutein, key to eye health, particularly with regard to macular degeneration and cataracts.

And there’s even more good news. Studies have shown that egg consumption actually facilitates weight loss.  When eaten for breakfast, they keep hunger at bay, thereby reducing calorie consumption throughout the day.  ALL RIGHT!

Check for yourself.  And, of course, with your doctor.  Particularly if you are diabetic or have elevated cholesterol.  For additional information, Google "the health benefits of eggs" or "studies on eggs."
