Another research in 2005, reported that women who were eating six to eight eggs in a week had forty four percent less chances of getting diagnosed with breast cancer relatively to those women who ate less than four eggs per week. April 2008 was the year when University of NC (North Carolina) reported that after doing lot of researches it has been found out that the amount of choline present in the yolk helps in reducing the possibilities of breast cancer by twenty four percent. The yolk has 125.5 mg of choline. That is about a quarter of what is actually recommended by the nutritionist for the whole day. That means eating about four eggs (poached) every single day can provide enough choline for your body.

It has been proved that eating eggs could actually help you to lose three to five pounds in a month. Eggs fill the stomach up really fast and for a longer time, which eventually stops us from over feeding. It does contain cholesterol but that is dietary and that is very different from blood cholesterol. It has never been reported that eating eggs increases the blood cholesterol in the body.
