Distinguishing between fact and fiction

The distinction between the protein content in egg white and fat content in egg yolk, and the difference in refrigeration practices between the US and Europe due to washing and protective coatings on eggs are discussed. The belief that egg yolks are high in fat is questioned, albeit acknowledged as unhealthy. The reason for refrigerating eggs in the US and storing them at room temperature in Europe is attributed to the washing process in the US that removes the protective coating present on European eggs.
