The food has been found to send "good cholesterol" surging and get rid of the "bad" type, known as low-density lipoprotein.
The experts also discovered that people who eat fewer eggs suffered from worse cholesterol overall.
Professor Canqing Hu - from Peking University in China - explained that the results showed "how eating a moderate amount of eggs can help protect against heart disease".
The findings were based on an analysis of 4,778 people in China and more than 3,000 of them suffered from cardiovascular disease.
Blood samples revealed that those who consumed a moderate amount of eggs had greater levels of APOA1 (apolipoprotein) A1 - a building block of "good cholesterol".
Eggs had been seen as dangerous because the yolks are high in cholesterol but the British Heart Foundation has since said that eating them should no longer be considered as a health risk.
So how do you have your eggs....  |

This isn’t new info came out back in the 90’s after a period when eggs had been demonised for being high in cholesterol
Eggs are super foods really, packed with nutrition low in cals and fat relatively speaking and light and easy to cook and digest |

"I like a soft boiled egg in a sandwich with thick butter (Lurpak for preference), sliced tomato, salt and a drizzle of salad cream or Spanish omelette. "
Will the eggs offset the cholesterol in the butter? |
