Saed News: For years, eggs were blamed as the main culprit in diets due to their high cholesterol content, but new scientific evidence provides a more accurate picture.
According to SAEDNEWS, a study published in the Journal of the American Nutrition Association shows that daily egg consumption is highly beneficial, and the findings are as follows:
It did not cause a significant increase in LDL (“bad”) cholesterol.
It showed no significant negative effect on cardiovascular health.
Dietary cholesterol (such as that in eggs) has a much smaller effect on blood cholesterol compared to trans fats and a sedentary lifestyle.
Eggs are a rich source of:
Complete protein
Choline (important for the brain and liver)
Vitamins A, D, B12
Eye-beneficial antioxidants
These results apply to healthy individuals.
People with specific medical conditions (such as genetic hypercholesterolemia) should still follow their doctor’s recommendations.
Eggs are not an enemy of the heart.
The overall quality of the diet, physical activity level, and lifestyle play a much more important role in heart health.
