[QUOTE="trotskyite, post: 1354388, member: 67262"] People above who are suggesting increasing egg consumption would do well to understand that the science shows a worrying trend for type2 diabetics who go above "recommended" levels of consumption ie not that many. (1 per day?) [URL]https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3683816/[/URL] "compared with those who never consume eggs, those who eat 1 egg per day or more are 42% more likely to develop type 2 diabetes. Among diabetic patients, frequent egg consumers (ie, ≥ 1 egg/d) are 69% more likely to have CVD comorbidity." [URL]http://ajcn.nutrition.org/content/87/4/964.full.pdf[/URL] "Compared with the lowest category of egg consumption, the intake of 7 eggs/wk was associated with a 22% greater risk of death in the absence of prevalent diabetes" "Conclusions: Infrequent egg consumption does not seem to influence the risk of CVD in male physicians. In addition, egg consumption was positively related to mortality, more strongly so in diabetic subjects, in the study population" Studies that show positive associations (which btw are all funded by the egg industry) with egg intake, quoted in links above, also fail to mention that the positive associations were only seen when the diet was already low in saturated fats: [URL]https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4586539/[/URL] "The background or intervention diet appears to be a key nutritional component. A high egg diet in the context of a background diet that is low in saturated fats (a polyunsaturated to saturated fat ratio > 0.7), or a diet that replaces saturated fats with poly- and mono-unsaturated fats, is likely to result in positive or no adverse changes in LDL cholesterol, and could be safely advised" Anyway the take away is that the abstract of the study does not tell the whole story. You need to read the full study. [/QUOTE]
