    4 eggs a week should be ok

    Personally I eat around 8 eggs per week but have no more than two per day.

    Eggs should always be cooked in some way to minimise the small risk of any bacteria present.

    Die hard health nuts should be mindful of this risk when they crack a couple of raw eggs and add it to their smoothie.

    Just as an aside; a high level criminal here - Tony Mokbel, was sent to prison and decided to eat 12 eggs per day to bulk up on protein. All it achieved was a heart condition and daily monitoring of his health by the prison medical staff. Too much of anything, even something healthy like eggs, is still bad for you.

    The same example can be made about fresh fruit. Steve Jobs (prior head of Apple corporation) used to be obsessed with eating copious amount of fruit and often that's all he would have. He ended up dying due to complications with his pancreas, which is designed to process a lot of the sugar. Steve Jobs thought he was making himself super healthy, but his mistake was eating an excess of the one food group.

    Btw another respondent claiming eggs are bad for you is incorrect. That's based on medical research of consuming too many eggs per day and is therefore quite misleading data.

    I swallow 2 raw egg yolks daily, I also eat them cooked, so I probably go through 20 to 30 a week.

    A lady called Emma Morano died aged 117 years (at that time the oldest woman in the world) she ate 3 eggs a day, 1 with bacon for breakfast, and swallowed 2 raw (recommend by her doctor when she was in her 20's)

    I am not saying eggs were the reason for her long life, but they sure didn't hurt.

    Eggs contain a whole host of healthy nutrients including some very important ones like vitamin D3 and K2, the only nutrient they dont contain is vitamin C.

    0 a week. All animal protein produces IGF-1 when it enters the liver which is a carcinogenic substance. Eating eggs does to the digestive tract what smoking does to the lungs. Eggs are so bad! not to mention the saturated fats and cholesterol that cause heart disease.
