Explanation

A. Eggs are a good source of high-quality protein and essential nutrients:

Eggs are rich in protein, B12, choline, and other nutrients.

B. Eating eggs in moderation can be part of a heart-healthy diet for most people:

For most people, eating 1 egg/day or fewer is not harmful, especially when paired with a healthy diet.

C. Eggs should be completely avoided because they always raise cholesterol to harmful levels:

This is outdated. Research shows moderate egg consumption does not significantly affect blood cholesterol in healthy individuals.

D. Only egg whites have nutritional value; the yolks should always be discarded:

Yolks contain important nutrients (choline, lutein). While they contain cholesterol, they're not void of value.

The liver produces most cholesterol in the body. Dietary cholesterol has less impact than once believed.
