Fat has benefits. Men in a Purdue study who ate a salad

with three eggs took in nine times more carotenoids —

antioxidants that can help your eyes—than those who didn’t

have the eggs. A diet high in carotenoid-rich produce, like

spinach, carrots, and sweet potatoes, may reduce heart

disease and some cancer risk. You need fat to take in these

compounds; that’s where yolks come in. Don’t want eggs

at every meal? Olive oil, avocado, and nuts may work too.
