The author stated that, “The present study finds that there is an association between moderate level of egg consumption (up to one egg/day) and a lower cardiac event rate”. The results of the study estimated that in comparison to people not consuming eggs, daily egg consumption was associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVD).
Daily egg consumers (up to one egg per day) had a 26% lower risk of haemorrhagic stroke, a 28% lower risk of haemorrhagic stroke death and an 18% lower risk of cardiovascular diseases death. It was also observed that there was a 12% decrease in risk of ischaemic heart disease for people consuming eggs daily as compared to those who ‘never/rarely’ consume…
