Choline, for example, helps maintain a healthy cell structure, removes cholesterol from the liver by creating a substance needed for that function, and helps with DNA synthesis.

You can eat up to 2 eggs daily if you are a healthy individual. If you have high cholesterol, check with your doctor before eating eggs.
