The benefits of eating egg-free are self-evident for people with an allergy to egg protein. Furthermore, cutting eggs out of your diet removes a major source of cholesterol, which is known to increase the risk of heart disease. Eggs and undercooked poultry are also a major source of food poisoning from salmonella bacteria. As well as the risk of food poisoning, poorly cooked eggs can cause nausea, vomiting, bloating and other gastrointestinal problems.
Egg whites are naturally high in sodium as well as egg yolk being high in cholesterol, so people with high blood pressure, diabetes or cardiovascular problems really need to avoid or limit their consumption. Eggs are also highly calorific (approximately 90 calories in a whole egg), and so cutting them out of your diet can help you to loose weight.
As well as the dietary advantages, many vegans will also cite ethical reasons relating to the horrific conditions that many chickens are kept in as a primary reason for not eating eggs.
