Scientists scare egg lovers with premature death (FACtNEWS)

Eating one egg a day can lead to premature death of middle-aged men, scientists warn. They found that seven or more eggs per week can increase mortality by 23%. The researchers also linked the use of eggs with the risk of early death of men suffering from diabetes, writes The Daily Mail (Going to work on an egg a day? It might just lead to an early death, say researchers – 10th April 2008).

Sometimes contradictory studies on the usefulness and harm of including eggs in the diet are associated with a high content of cholesterol in them, about 220 milligrams in each yolk. Thus, the consumption of eggs leads to an increase in cholesterol levels in the blood and the risk of heart disease.

Many experts believe that the risk is exaggerated, because the body of most people can remove cholesterol naturally. Nevertheless, researchers Luke Juice and Jay Michael Gaziano, after analyzing a 20-year study in which 21327 men took part, came to the conclusion that the number of eggs in the diet of the stronger sex should be reduced.

In an article published on the pages of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, experts note: "Eating up to six eggs a week does not carry a risk of increased mortality, but eating seven or more eggs increases the mortality rate by 23%. Moreover, in men with diabetes, eating eggs can trigger a heart attack or stroke."

Scientists warn that their discovery cannot concern the entire population as a whole, since the harm from eating eggs also depends on how they were cooked. In addition, the study participants who ate the largest number of eggs were older, prone to excess weight, drank alcohol, smoked, and did not exercise.
