New research suggests that eggs could be considered a \'superfood,\' protecting against heart disease, breast cancer and eye problems and even helping people lose weight. A study published last year in the Journal of the American College of Nutrition looked at the breakfast habits of obese women. Scientists from Wayne State University found that when the women were given either an egg or bagel breakfast, each providing the same number of calories, the women eating the eggs felt fuller and consumed fewer calories overall in the following 24 hours.
