Eggs May Get a Reprieve From Cholesterol Findings
Government research released by the USDA and the Egg Nutrition Center says eggs contain 22 percent less cholesterol than previously believed. The revised figures show a large egg averaging 213 milligrams of cholesterol and 75 calories, with extra large eggs about 230 milligrams and medium eggs around 180 milligrams. The change stems from better testing and farming practices, and will influence USDA nutrient handbooks. Egg industry officials say the findings support eggs as a nutritious food despite earlier heart health warnings.
