Egg Consumption and Risk of Coronary Heart Disease and Stroke: Dose-Response Meta-Analysis of Prospective Cohort Studies
For years both patients and doctors have misunderstood the clinical implications of eating eggs. Of course eggs are high in cholesterol and will cause a heart attack!
Well, some good news. Not only do eggs not increase your risk for heart disease and stroke (only exemption may be diabetics-more studies are needed) but they are a great source of protein and nutrients.
Our recommendation is to continue to enjoy your eggs but as with anything else moderation and common sense should guide your consumption. As far as diabetics, we do not know what to recommend, but I would suggest no more then 1 egg/day. Also, remember to limit your salt intake and when possible eat the yolk intact (as opposed to scrambled).
