Eggs, the new Smoking? A Twitter user that all-in-one Egg to eat would be as harmful as Smoking five cigarettes. Due to the high cholesterol content of the food was. What is behind the slanted comparison?

How many eggs are healthy, in addition to experts discuss again and again. That cigarettes are unhealthy, is out of the question. Actually. A vegan sees something different, and writes under the Twitter name “Plant-Based Barb”:

“An Egg = five cigarettes? Egg yolks are full of cholesterol. A medium-sized Egg contains 186 milligrams of cholesterol, which is 62 percent of the recommended intake. Eating eggs is harmful for your health as Smoking!“
