New Study Vindicates Eggs, Says They Don't Hike Bad-Cholesterol Levels
AUSTRALIA, JUL 18 – Research shows eggs do not raise bad LDL cholesterol when consumed with low saturated fat, with two eggs daily potentially lowering LDL and reducing heart disease risk.
- In a world-first trial, University of South Australia researchers investigated the independent impact of dietary cholesterol and saturated fat on LDL levels, published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
- Amid cholesterol concerns, health professionals once warned against egg consumption, but new research defends their perks and challenges outdated criticism.
- The trial found saturated fat, not dietary cholesterol, predominantly elevates LDL cholesterol, and consuming two eggs daily within a low-saturated-fat diet can lower LDL cholesterol.
- The American Heart Association recommends one egg daily for healthy adults and two for older people with healthy cholesterol levels, and eggs have reclaimed their place on the breakfast table.
- Beyond this, Helen Bell, nutritionist at the UK Care Guide, said egg consumption may aid weight loss too, and secondary results found raised lutein and zeaxanthin levels support brain and eye health.
