LITTLE KNOWN BENEFITS OF EGGS

Eggs have often been maligned but they are once again accepted as a good food. Did you know that eggs have anti-inflammatory properties?  Inflammation is one of the biggest causes of problems with our bodies. following are a few things you may have never connected to eggs. A huge study of 121,000 women has suggested that eating 3 eggs a week during adolescence dropped the risk of breast cancer by 18%!  Parents, as a breast cancer survivor, I say feeding your children 3 eggs a week is well worth it!  Other components in eggs, ie choline and lecithin, are shown to improve brain and gallbladder functions.  I would say eating eggs, in reasonable quantities, is a good thing to do.
