Eggs are a good source of lean protein and many essential micronutrients, including folate, vitamin A, B2 (riboflavin), B5, B12, phosphorus, and selenium. However, research findings to date have been mixed in regard to the effects of eggs on health markers, including serum cholesterol levels, insulin resistance, oxidative stress, inflammation, and potential cardiometabolic risk. This may be due to the fact that egg composition can vary depending on how they are produced, and cooking methods can also affect the potential benefits or harm related to eating them.
