Is it true that eating three to four eggs with breakfast every day is beneficial for the health of healthy adults?
Partly. One review supports eggs as part of a healthy dietary pattern, but it does not address eating three to four eggs daily. Other sources indicate that for healthy adults only modest or no cardiovascular benefit is seen, that guidance caps intake near one egg per day, and that four eggs daily raised cholesterol in healthy young men.
