Did you know there are antioxidants in eggs? Studies have shown that two egg yolks, that's right - yolks, have approximately the same antioxidant power as an apple. In fact, eggs are a rich source of various antioxidants, including carotenoids, vitamin E, and polyphenols. If you only eat egg whites, you are missing a big part of the egg's antioxidant benefits. The yolk is particularly rich in antioxidants, with the majority of the egg's carotenoid and vitamin E content found in this part of the egg. The yolk's high fat content also makes it an efficient vehicle for delivering these fat-soluble antioxidants to the body. Go ahead, eat an egg and know you are doing something good for your body.
