Here is a recent study that caught my attention. A couple of years ago I used to eat well over 10 eggs per week, but lately I rarely eat them... more out of lack of time to cook them in the morning.
Seven or more eggs a week linked to death risk
Middle-aged men should limit consumption, study suggests
WASHINGTON - Middle-aged men who ate seven or more eggs a week had a higher risk of earlier death, U.S. researchers reported on Wednesday.
Men with diabetes who ate any eggs at all raised their risk of death during a 20-year period studied, according to the study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
The study adds to an ever-growing body of evidence, much of it contradictory, about how safe eggs are to eat. It did not examine what about the eggs might affect the risk of death.

It makes sense. Eggs are high in cholesterol (really high) and guys are more prone to having cholesterol related heart problems than women.
I only eat about 1 egg a week, on average, for the same reason as you.
