Eat Your Eggs
Eggs are not linked to increased risk of cardiovascular trouble, even in people with pre-diabetes, and type 2 diabetes.
It seems everywhere you look there is endless amounts of information concerning our diet. It is hard to discern which information is backed by science, and which is antiquated or rumors spread throughout social media. One common thought is that eggs, especially the yolks are bad for you, claiming they increase cholesterol and cardiovascular risk, here is one study that finds no link between eggs and increased cardiovascular risk.
University of Sydney conducted a study to find out if there was truth behind the thought process that eggs can be bad for your health, especially if you have other underlying health issues such as diabetes. They took a group or participants and divided them into two groups, high-egg diet (12 eggs a week) and a low-egg diet (less than 2 eggs a week). Each group began a diet including their directed egg intake, and after three months was found to have no difference in their risk markers. Those same participants then embarked on a weight-loss journey continuing their egg consumption, they were then tested every three months for up to 12 months showing no difference. The markers included cholesterol, blood sugar, and blood pressure. Researchers concluded dietary cholesterol has little to no effect on cholesterol levels in the blood. They also found both groups of participants lost an equivalent amount of weight. Eggs are back as a nutritious breakfast full of protein and micro nutrients to aid our bodies, so eat up!
