Eggs reduce cholesterol and help lose weight

Video: eggs can help cholesterol and lose weight
Average rating: No rating

As a nation we currently eat 28 million eggs a day - around 2-3 per person per week.

However, in the UK we eat far fewer than most other countries, partly because of the worry that too many eggs can cause heart problems and an increase in cholesterol levels.

In fact around half of people in the UK think we shouldn't eat more than 3 eggs a week.
