Side effects of eating eggs daily

If we look at the various research and studies, none of them points out any side effects of eating an egg daily. However, most researchers have made this point time and again that one must limit the daily intake value of eggs. It should not exceed 1-2 eggs a day. Also, it is important to watch your food pairing as to what you are eating with egg. If you do that there is no harm in saying that ‘an egg a day, keep you healthy always’.

No side effects? Are you insane?! Eggs in moderation (4 per week) with equally moderate consumption of other high fat foods is not horrible, but in greater quantity, daily consumption of eggs will produce heart disease in most people by their 50s. Dont be lying to people for profit.
