1 � Egg yolk is not healthy

It is very common to see people making omelets with just egg whites in an attempt to
have a healthier diet, but the truth is that this may not make a big difference.

Egg yolks do have more fat and cholesterol than egg whites, but these fats are not bad
and consuming cholesterol is not necessarily harmful to your health � except for people
with heart disease and diabetes. If you are unsure about the ideal amount for your case,
consult your doctor.

2 � Brown chickens produce dark-shelled eggs

The color of the eggshell does, in fact, have to do with the color of the hen, but not with
the color of her feathers. Dark eggs are usually laid by hens with red earlobes � no, you
didn�t read that wrong, we�re talking about the earlobes of chickens. White-shelled eggs
are usually laid by hens with white earlobes.

3 � Brown shell eggs are healthier

This is a myth that still has no clear origin, and it is not known whether the idea came
from the idea that brown eggs seem more �whole� and therefore healthier, but the truth
is that the color of the eggshell does not interfere with its nutritional value.

4 � Each egg is a chick

Just as women ovulate, chickens lay eggs, and the ones that are put up for sale are not
fertilized � there are exceptions, of course, but they are accidental and it is very unlikely
that you will end up buying an egg that has been hatched. The truth is that the eggs you
buy are unlikely to hatch into chicks.

5 � Fertilized eggs have more protein

The idea of ​​eating a fertilized egg is bizarre to most people, and to be clear, it rarely
happens. However, just in case, fertilized eggs are neither better nor worse for
consumption and do not have more protein than an unfertilized egg.
