Reported by the Medical Xpress, Friday (4/1), eggs are one of the controversial foods. On the one hand, large amounts of egg intake are not recommended because of high cholesterol content.
Meanwhile, eggs are a food source rich in bioactive compounds that provide health benefits. This means that the health impact of consuming eggs is difficult to determine based solely on cholesterol levels.
Previous researchers showed that consuming about one egg every day was associated with minimizing the risk of type 2 diabetes among elderly men who participated in the Kuopio Ischaemic Hearth Disease Risk Factor study in Eastern Finland. "The aim of the current study is to examine potential compounds that can explain this relationship using non-target metabolic techniques that allow a broader profile of chemicals in the sample," said the initial researcher and lead author of the study Stefania Noerman of the University of Eastern Finland.
The study found blood samples from men who ate more eggs including fat molecules associated with blood profiles that were free of type 2 diabetes. In addition, the researchers identified several biochemical compounds in the blood that predicted a higher risk of type 2 diabetes, including amino acids. tyrosine.
