Some people ignore the yolk and eat only the egg whites, thinking it’s healthier. But by doing that, you’re missing out on the most nutritious part of the egg.
Egg yolks are loaded with vitamin D, B12, selenium, choline, and antioxidants like lutein and zeaxanthin, which are crucial for brain and eye health.
Verdict: The yolk is not your enemy — it’s a powerhouse of nutrients.
Myth 3: Eating Eggs Every Day Is Too Much
Many Europeans consider that eating eggs every day could be harmful over time.
In fact, eating one to two eggs daily can help keep muscle mass, encourage brain function, and enhance satiety — all important for aging populations across Europe.
Verdict: Daily egg consumption is generally safe unless you have specific health conditions.
Myth 4: Eggs Are Bad for Weight Loss
Some believe eggs are fattening because of their fat content. But that couldn’t be further from the truth.
Eggs are low in calories (about 70–80 kcal each) and high in protein, which maintains you full longer and helps decrease overall calorie intake.
A breakfast that includes eggs has been proven to reduce snacking and promote metabolism throughout the day.
Verdict: Eggs can actually support healthy weight loss.
Myth 5: Raw Eggs Are Healthier Than Cooked Eggs
While some fitness enthusiasts eat raw eggs for “more nutrients,” the bioavailability of protein is much higher in cooked eggs. Cooking eggs also removes potential bacteria like salmonella, which maintains a risk — even in Europe, where egg safety is tightly regulated.
Verdict: Stick with cooked eggs — they’re safer and your body absorbs more protein from them.
Final Thoughts
Eggs are among the most popular, nutritious, and adaptable foods available across Europe. While moderation and balance are always key, most of the fear around eggs originate from outdated or misunderstood science.
