Are eggs good or bad, overall?

Are eggs (such as hard-boiled eggs) generally good or bad nutritionally? It seems like they should
contain just about everything a person might need nutritionally, since they are designed to
fulfill the same purpose for a baby chick. Is it a good idea overall to eat them? If so, how
often, and what sort of preparation gives the best nutritional value? I tend to like hard-boiled
or scrambled eggs myself, but how much is lost in cooking them?

IANAE, but I've formed the idea from previous posts on this topic that cooking eggs in *air* causes
the formation of oxidised cholesterol, which you don't want. Maybe 'scrambling' ought to be dropped
as a method of preparation, therefore...?

As you said, eggs are very high in nutrition. A study published in JAMA (The Journal of the American
Medical Association) there was no correlation found between up to at least one egg a day and heart
disease. I heard a nutritionist on the radio recommend a vegetable omelet for breakfast.
