Health of Egg Consumption

[Gonzo]

Been eating lots of eggs lately. Mostly over easy/ omelets and sometimes scrambled. We just got a few cartons from a local chicken farmer that taste great.

I've heard a few contradicting sources on the health risks/ benefits of eating eggs. First it was that egg protein is good. Then it was that the cholesterol in eggs causes arteries to clog up provoking heart attacks and shortens one's life span. Another source claims that it lowers the chances of heart attacks, heart disease, breast cancer, cataracts, eye degeneration, and stroke. First that 7 eggs a week were the limit and then a much higher number. Others say just not to eat them.

So does anyone know the moderate limit of egg consumption per week?
