It's been debated for years: Are eggs good or bad for you? People who eat three or four eggs a day -- or any equivalent of 300 mg of dietary cholesterol -- have a higher risk of both heart disease and early death compared to those who eat fewer eggs, new research finds.
"Eggs, specially the yolk, are a major source of dietary cholesterol," wrote Victor Zhong, lead author and a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Preventive Medicine at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago. In a study published Friday in the medical journal JAMA, he and his colleagues noted that a single large egg contains about 186 mg of cholesterol.
"Considering the negative consequences of egg consumption and dietary cholesterol in the setting of heart-healthy dietary patterns, the importance of limiting intake of cholesterol-rich foods should not be dismissed," he concluded.Zhong and his co-authors similarly concluded:"These results should be considered in the development of dietary guidelines and updates."
Victoria Taylor, a senior dietitian with the British Heart Foundation, told Science Media Centre that"this type of study can only show an association, rather than cause and effect, and more research is needed for us to understand the reasons behind this link.
