Are Eggs Healthy or Harmful?

Eggs yolks may be cholesterol bombs, but egg whites are packed with healthy protein. "Egg whites are one of the best protein sources we have. I tell patients to hard boil a dozen eggs, shell them, throw away the yolks and add the whites to oatmeal, salads and soups. The protein prevents them from getting hungry a couple hours after eating, and I've never seen anyone gain weight from eating too many egg whites," says Dr. Hazen.
