The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine reports that eggs have been linked to increased risk of colon cancer, rectal cancer, and bladder cancer. "Eggs have zero dietary fiber, are devoid of cancer-fighting antioxidants, and about 60 percent of the calories in eggs are from fat-a big portion of which is saturated fat. They are also loaded with cholesterol-about 213 milligrams for an average-sized egg."
