    Is this whole myth gone now? Can you eat as many eggs a day if you want now?

    There is history of high cholesterol and bad hearts on my Dads side of the family. My Nanna has chickens so I get the free range eggs and I eat almost two a day. We had a big debate about this particular topic and my uncle who recently had a quadruple by pass was told not to eat more than three eggs a week by the professionals.

    As others have said I'd also eat 15-20 eggs a week, never had a problem with my cholesterol!
