In this video, Dr. Greger reports  the US Department of Agriculture has many times prevented the egg industry from advertising eggs as healthy or nutritious, primarily because they have high levels of cholesterol and fat.  Because of the risk of salmonella poisoning, the egg industry can’t even say eggs are safe.
