Why not healthy? Eggs are one of the best source of protein. But of course moderation is still key, 2 - 3 eggs is still okay.

I think 1-2 eggs per day is still considered as normal and it wont have any side effects as well. I also have the habit of eating 2 eggs every morning since last year.

?

A cough can be cause by any number of things and eggs are probably one of the last few possibilities (after 100's other more possible reasons) if at all lah.

Go see a doctor and get a diagnoses. Eggs are not your problem.

i had 10++ whole eggs everyday for 4th yrs now...nothing bad happen ...

Eating 2-3 eggs is OK.Just not take too much for one day.

Had been eating 2-3 eggs for years and still ok .

mayb taking more eggs without doing exercise is bit risk..huhu

Egg is a huge source of cholesterol. Atherosclerosis develops when your arteries harden due to the accumulation of fat, cholesterol and other substances, making it difficult for blood to flow through. This forms plaque, which can eventually form blockages inside the arteries, triggering other complications, such as a stroke or heart attack.

Canadian study shows that excessive egg yolks consumption, especially in those with cardiovascular issues are "almost as bad for your arteries as smoking, leading to atherosclerosis."
Study author Dr. David Spence tells Global News, "When you get older, you're going to have a higher and higher risk of heart attacks. So why would you want to make your arteries get worse faster by piling cholesterol on you?"

The study above use test subjects "eating three or more egg yolks a week".

According to the Mayo Clinic, if you are healthy, you shouldn't consume more than 300 milligrams of cholesterol per day. If you have diabetes, heart disease, or high levels of LDL (low-density lipoprotein or "bad") cholesterol in your blood, you should try to have no more than 200 milligrams per day.
One large egg contains about 186 milligrams of cholesterol, which is all contained in the yolk. Egg whites don't contain cholesterol.

Harvard study shows "Higher Death Rate Among Men Who Eat 7 or More Eggs per Week".
"The researchers -- who included Luc Djousse, MD, MPH, DSc, of Boston's Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School -- counted 5,169 deaths among the men during the follow-up period.
Even after adjusting for other risk factors, men who reported eating seven or more eggs per week were 23% more likely to die of any cause during the study; the risk rose among those with diabetes."

But there are also contradicting study from University of Illinois.
"Thirteen patients at the Highland Hospital in Oakland, California were fed the equivalent in egg yolks of that found in 15 eggs per day for a 3 week period. The serum cholesterol did not increase significantly in any except two bedridden, obese patients. Four of the 7 ambulatory patients in the study actually showed a slight decrease in serum cholesterol."
"In the Ireland-Boston Heart Study the researchers followed 600 Irishmen between the ages of 30 and 60 who had lived in Boston for 10 or more years and their brothers who had never left the old country. The Irish brothers ate about twice as many eggs as their American brothers--averaging over 14 per week. Yet, the Irish brothers had lower levels of cholesterol in their bloodstream, and their hearts were rated from 2 to 6 times healthier. " But do note that the researchers stated that "More physical exercise was given as a possible reason for this difference."
"Dr. Robert Itchiness, a cardiologist in New York city specializing in metabolic disorders, has treated over 8,000 patients. He lowered the serum cholesterol markedly in 63 percent of his patients with a diet high in meat, milk, and eggs."

So far, there are no one study that could provide a death blow to another. However, do caution, and consume with moderation.
I, myself, consume almost 12 per day for the past two years, but do note I do heavy physically demanding tasks per day.

I eat 10 whole eggs a day. Don't worry.

My sister is a nutritionist.
She says, a week we only can have total of 3 eggs. (Kinda ridiculous right? We cant live a day without eggsss. Its so delicious )
This is due to the cholesterol level in the egg yolk.

Egg white is ok.

Correct me if Im wrong. =)

Partially.

Those who work out take more than 3 a day easily. If you lead a sedentary lifestyle yeah it would probably lead to cholestrol problems.

actually, its true what she said

taking 3 is already enough for the week.
eggs are the best all-in-one food you can get anywhere.

In the old days, eggs were considered a luxury food

U mean?
If wan to have more eggs a week, workout more?

He means if you work out consistently, you can afford to eat more. If you hardly move all day, eating more of anything isn't going to be helpful.

My nutritionist friend told me exactly the same thing, used to it at least 2 everyday.
