Aren’t eggs supposed to be super healthy?
Yes and no.
Eggs are a food group that can be problematic depending on one's medical history - and no, it's not about cholesterol. The cholesterol debate - and what causes elevated levels in the body - was misleading and has long since been dismantled, but there are other aspects that make eggs less suitable for daily intake for everyone.
For many years, I have recommended all cancer clients to avoid eggs more than 2 eggs once a week due to research that link eggs to an adverse effect on e.g. breast cancer. (and in fact, Indian medicine (Ayurveda) also advises against eggs when you have cancer!).
For many, eggs can be a super good source of nutrients, but they are also a small fetus and are jam-packed with growth hormones - something you want to avoid when you have viral issue or cancer in your body.
I like to combine Indian health philosophy and anecdotal evidence with Western clinical research, but it has previously sounded a bit "alternative" to base one's statements about why eggs should not be part of the diet plan for cancer patients, solely on anecdotal science from Ayurveda, notwithstanding that biochemically it made sense. Now, however, we have meta-studies documenting why it is a really bad idea to eat >2 eggs per week when you have certain health challenges, e.g. breast cancer and viruses, (so far, Western research mainly supports that it is problematic with regard to breast cancer when you are postmenopausal):
