SUMMARY

The recent discussion centers on the health implications of egg consumption, particularly regarding cholesterol and cardiovascular disease. A study published in JAMA (2019) indicates that dietary cholesterol, regardless of its source, is associated with an increased risk of heart disease. Previous studies suggested no link between egg consumption and cardiovascular risk, but they lacked diverse samples and comprehensive dietary adjustments. Moderation is advised; while eggs can be included in the diet, their quantity should be limited to mitigate health risks.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of dietary cholesterol and its sources
  • Familiarity with cardiovascular disease risk factors
  • Knowledge of the role of saturated and trans fats in diet
  • Awareness of recent nutritional studies and their methodologies
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the latest findings on dietary cholesterol and heart health
  • Explore the impact of saturated and trans fats on cardiovascular disease
  • Investigate the role of exercise and overall diet quality in heart disease prevention
  • Learn about the effects of statins and CoQ10 supplementation on cholesterol levels
USEFUL FOR

Nutritionists, healthcare professionals, individuals concerned about heart health, and anyone looking to make informed dietary choices regarding egg consumption.

I think that eggs keep well for a long time in the refrigerator.

Here we go again. A new study found that there was no significant association between eggs consumed and blood lipids, mortality or major CVD events based on < 1 egg per week vs >= 7 eggs per week for about 177,000 persons in 50 Countries.
These discussions on eggs no longer seem fruitful. If you find one study claiming that eggs are not related to cardiovascular diseases, it will be not too late before you find another saying the exact opposite thing. At the end, no proper conclusion can be reached.
