Decades ago, health organizations recommended that eggs constituted a healthy breakfast. <\/p>\nDecades ago, health organizations recommended that eggs constituted a healthy breakfast. <\/p>\n
They then turned their opinion on its head, especially between the 1970s and 2000s, during which they started an egg-witch-hunt due to the cholesterol they contained.<\/p>\n
Now eggs seem to be back in fashion.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re feeling dizzy with these back and forward \u201cexpert\u201d opinions, you\u2019re not alone. So what\u2019s the reality?<\/p>\n
Many studies are available that show that the intake of one egg per day has no effect on consumer’s risk of cardiovascular disease or stroke.<\/p>\n
For example, in 1999, Cardiology-JAMA<\/em> published a huge study by researchers from Harvard School of Public Health, Brigham and Women’s Hospital, and Harvard Medical School that shows that moderate egg consumption is safe.<\/p>\n They examined dietary and health information of 37,851 male and 80,082 female adults collected by previous studies.<\/p>\n They found no increased risk of heart attack, stroke, or coronary heart disease (which is essentially cholesterol-clogged arteries) in either men or women.<\/p>\n This was true for those who ate one to six eggs per week and for those who ate one egg per day.<\/p>\n In contrast to basically healthy people, though, diabetics who ate several eggs a week were at higher risk of these problems.<\/p>\n So why exactly do eggs have such a poor reputation?<\/p>\n Egg yolk contains a relatively large amount of cholesterol, which led scientists to believe that they could not possibly be healthy.<\/p>\n But eggs seem to have many other characteristics that explain why the cholesterol in the yolks do not contribute to a cholesterol epidemic.<\/p>\n
