The researchers revealed people who ate eggs every day, probably had a lower risk of heart attack and stroke than those who did not eat eggs at all. This is revealed in a large study in China.
Reported by Reuters, researchers conducted a check of survey data on egg consumption to 461,213 adults who are on average 51 years of age and have no history of heart disease. In the survey, on average they ate half an egg each day. In details, about 9 percent of them avoid eggs altogether. Then 13 percent, eat about one egg every day.
There are at least half of the participants, followed for nine years or more. During that time, as many as 83,977 people had heart disease or had had a heart attack or stroke. While as many as 9,985 died because of this condition.
In addition, the study also found, compared to people who never eat eggs, people who eat an average of 0.76 eggs per day ie as many as 11 percent of the number of participants, experiencing a smaller possibility for potentially affected by cardiovascular disease.
"It's important for people, especially those in parts of the world where eggs are the main source of high-quality protein and other essential nutrients for the body," says a researcher at Harvard Medical School in Boston, Dr Luc Djousse, who was not involved in the study .
"The take-home message from this is that when consumed in moderation, there appears to be no increased risk of heart disease or stroke," said Djousse.
However, that does not mean people have to rush to eat eggs by serving three egg omelets every day for breakfast. Because, Djousse said, this study does not explain the risk of heart disease or stroke associated with more than one egg a day.
Meanwhile, researchers from the Western University of Aterosklerosis Prevention & Research Center in London, Ontario, Dr J David Spence said, yelur is not safe for anyone at risk of heart attack or stroke. Especially for diabetics, he said.
"Eggs increase the risk of vascular disease," said Spence, who was also not involved in the study. For example, egg yolk contains phosphatidylcholine, a chemical that can contribute to blocked arteries, he said.
However, in previous studies also mentioned the relationship between eggs and heart disease has offered inconsistent results. Senior study author Canqing Yu and Liming Li from the Peking University Health Sciences Center in Beijing have not responded to requests for comment.
