This is a good indicator for measurement of health risk.
In 2008,research from the university of North Carolina found that choline present in the yolk can reduce the risk of breast cancer by 24%,an egg contains 125.5mg of choline.
In 2005,another research finding by another group reported that women who ate at least 6 eggs/week have a 44% lower risk of developing breast cancer than women who ate fewer/no eggs.
The research by the Harvard university in 2003 found that eating eggs as an adolescent could prevent breast cancer risk as an adult.
EGGS AND YOUR HEALTH.
The egg contains all the nutrient to produce a chick,hence its a power packed meal that promotes growth and development.
Eggs are nutrient packed and plays immense roles in various systems in the body.The protein requirement is 0.8g/kg on the average: with the requirement for man is 56g,and woman 46g. The FAO has cautioned that the dietary intake is below the required levels in developing countries hence more protein especially animal protein should be included in diet. One medium egg contains 70-85 calories of which 6.5g is protein.
Eggs are nutrient rich and if incorporated in diet on a regular basis will make up for the deficit in protein in the developing countries; hence the truth an egg a day keeps the doctor away.

vitamin A responsible for great vision; eye sight integrity.
vitamin E responsible for fighting off free radicals that cause tissue and cellular damage.
Vitamin B2 responsible for proper growth.
3) mineral source..iron for blood cells,and maintenance of circulatory integrity.
zinc....ensures proper functioning of immune system.
