Are Eggs Vegetarian?

Do you ever wonder whether eggs are veg or non-veg?

Some consider that since eggs are not animal flesh, they are technically vegetarian, according to the definition of vegetarianism as a diet that eliminates the ingestion of animal flesh (the meat, muscles or tissue of an animal). Many vegetarians eat eggs as part of their diet while avoiding birds, cows, pigs, fish, and any other animals. You're a "ovo-vegetarian," or a vegetarian who eats eggs, according to the nomenclature. Although some people perceive eggs to be vegetarian, they are obviously not vegan.

Vegetarians don't eat dead animals, and while eggs aren't dead animals, there's some debate about whether vegetarians should avoid eating foods that require killing animals, even if they don't eat the flesh.

There is a 2% increase in your chance of having a heart attack for every 1% rise in the quantity of cholesterol in your blood.

In contrast, every 1% drop in cholesterol lowers your risk by 2%. Atherosclerosis, or the accumulation of cholesterol, fat, and cells in the arteries that supply the heart, is accelerated by high cholesterol—anything above 150. A part of this muscle loses blood flow when these arteries get obstructed. A heart attack occurs as a result.
