One of the most demonized food items in Ghana are eggs. They have been accused of causing an increase in blood cholesterol levels and also leaving consumers with lots of gas that causes frequent flatulence. You will ask people when they last took in an egg and they will find it difficult to remember. Statements like, “it contains cholesterol”, “I fart too much when I take it” are typical responses one gets. People tend to focus on these negative misconceptions and forgo the many positives associated with egg intake.
