No Yolking Matter

Eggs are bad for you again.  Particularly the tasty yellow part of the egg.  It's "Worse Than Smoking Cigarettes" (for people over 40, and only if the 'worse' part refers specifically to the rate of thickening of arteries.  Plus it's not actually quite as bad as smoking cigarettes).  

Based upon this article, the scientific community is confused about eggs.  It doesn't quite know what to make of them.  For hundreds of years they were fine, up until the point at which people started to realise that eating some types of food isn't always good for your health.  Then they were awful for a number of years, until they were pretty much fine again, and now not so much. 

Hope that helps.
