Did you know that around 1 billion people around the world are estimated to have low vitamin D levels? In the past, much of the attention on vitamin D was related to healthy bones, skeletons, and teeth, but we now know that vitamin D deficiency may increase the risk of autoimmune diseases, heart disease, and cancers. New research has also suggested that vitamin D may reduce the risk of COVID-19 and flu infections. With almost one third of our daily needs in one large egg, eggs are one of the few natural food sources of vitamin D. Most of the vitamin D is found in the egg yolk, all the more reason to eat the whole egg.<\/p>\n
