A good egg: How to buy one

Eggs used to get a bad rap, but these days they're a welcome addition to a healthy diet. In the past, doctors worried about the cholesterol in eggs. But research has found that though eggs do contain a healthy dose of cholesterol, eating one to two eggs a day doesn't affect a person's cholesterol levels at all.

On the contrary, eggs are a fantastic source of choline, a necessary B vitamin that reduces inflammation in the body. Eggs, which are high in protein, have also been linked to helping people lose weight. They're also inexpensive, easily accessible for most people, and are available year round. (As always, if you have a health condition you should follow your doctor's advice when it comes to nutrition).

There are a lot of different eggs out there -- brown, organic, those with extra omega-3s -- so if you're looking for some advice on how to buy the perfect egg, Yahoo's got it.
