Egg consumption and risk of all-cause and cause-specific mortality in an Italian adult population
Egg consumers may have higher chances of dying prematurely from cancer, cardiovascular ailments, and other chronic diseases.
This study looked at the relationship between the ingestion of eggs and the probability of dying from chronic diseases. Researchers followed more than 20,000 Italian men and women aged 35 years and above for an average of 8.2 years, monitoring their eating habits and mortality rate.
Researchers found out that egg consumption even at the recommended level of 2-4 eggs per week increased the risk of suffering from deaths due to cancer, cardiovascular disease, and other causes. This study points out that egg intake may result in premature death.
