'The right egg intake for most people is about one a day. Cardiovascular disease and diabetes,' said Dr. Masid Defgarn, a researcher at McMaster University's Institute of Public Health, who participated in the study. Egg consumption did not increase the incidence or mortality of cardiovascular disease, even for those who had a history of the disease. '

'We have found no link between egg intake and such things as' blood cholesterol, '' egg composition, 'and' other risk factors. ' It can be applied to a wide range of people, including those with vascular disease, 'said Dr. Defgan.

Dr. Defgan and his colleagues analyze three surveys of approximately 177,000 people across six continents and 50 countries in an integrated manner.

One study included a large prospective epidemiological cohort study (PURE) of 146,011 subjects in 21 countries. The results of PURE analysis show that those who eat less than one egg a week, those who eat more than seven eggs a week, and those who eat less than seven eggs, etc. No significant association was found between medium lipids, mortality, or cardiovascular disease.

In addition, when analyzing the ONTARGET and TRANSCEND surveys of 31,544 patients with vascular disease, similar to the above-mentioned analysis results, the relationship between egg intake and cardiovascular disease incidence and mortality was similar. No connection was found.

'Eggs are also a nutrient-rich and good source of protein and contain biologically active compounds such as lutein and zeaxanthin ,' the researchers noted.

Some guidelines for cardiovascular disease recommend that eggs should be restricted because they are high cholesterol foods and eating too much can adversely affect blood lipids. 'Recent randomization and animal studies have shown that dietary cholesterol ingested from foods has little effect on blood lipids,' the researchers noted.



It should be noted that in the diet guidelines that the United States Department of Agriculture and the Department of Health and Human Services has issued, but before 2010, was recommended to the cholesterol intake per day to less than 300mg, ' food for Americans Items related to cholesterol have been deleted from the “ Lifestyle Guidelines 2015-2020 ”. Instead, the 2015-2020 edition recommends eating a variety of protein foods, including seafood, lean meat, chicken, eggs, beans (beans and peas), nuts, seeds, and soy products.
