A recent study proved that eating too many eggs doesn't necessarily cause high blood cholesterol and heart disease. BBC News reports that the antiquated misconception that too many eggs are bad for you can finally go away. Egg lovers everywhere rejoice! In light of this new evidence, the British Heart Foundation (BHF) dropped its advice to limit egg consumption to three a week.

Researcher Bruce Griffin said those on a low-cholesterol diet should be more concerned with cutting back saturated fats from fatty meats, dairy products, and pastries.
