Michael Greger, the guy who runs that website (and yes, despite the name that would make you think the website is associated with the "Nutrition Facts" labels on food, this is his personal website; the real website related to those labels is the USDA's nutrition.gov), is a quack who promotes veganism as the only healthy diet. He's an MD (nutrition is a separate field from medicine - the relevant credential is RD, registered dietitian) and his only other credential, FACLM, is one he gave himself.

Eggs are good for you. There have been health scares in the past about the effects of cholesterol and fat, but now the main concerns seem to be sugar (which does cause diabetes) and sodium (which causes heart disease).
