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.

This is one of those studies which connects two things (in this case: eating eggs and prostate cancer) whether they should be connected or not. They were looking for connections between meat and prostate cancer, ('they' being the good people at the Harvard School of Public Health, who cannot sit still for 10 minutes without knocking out one of these reports). Anyway, no such link was found on this occasion though they noticed a correlation between those men who eat 3 or more eggs a week and the cancer. However, Cancer Research UK wasn't getting sucked into this one, perhaps having read previous reports from this institution, and simply say that in general egg/cancer research 'results have been contradictory'.
