Excessive Egg Consumption? Find Out If You're Harming Yourself

The common perception is that eating eggs may be dangerous for heart health, but recent studies are proving the opposite - balanced egg consumption does not encourage diabetes and does not impact heart health.

The study conducted by the University of Sydney shows that concerning heart disease and diabetes, no impact was found in people consuming up to 12 eggs weekly compared to those consuming less than 2 eggs a week.

The study, conducted over 3 months, included two groups closely monitored by heart and diabetes specialists. In both groups (those consuming 12 eggs and those consuming 2), no difference was observed in the participants' risk to heart health, considering the impact on their weight and the risk of developing diabetes.

According to the researchers, this information is critical since eggs have high nutritional value and contain healthy and nutritious components. "Diabetics usually have high levels of bad cholesterol in their blood, but our study showed that egg consumption has no effect on this cholesterol - neither positive nor negative," explained the lead researcher, Dr. Nick Fuller.

On the contrary, the researchers claim that the most significant impact on the participants' health was replacing saturated fats, such as butter, with healthy fats like avocado oil and olive oil. When these fats were replaced and a correct diet was maintained, results showed weight loss and reduced sugar levels in participants, even when consuming a regular amount of eggs.

"This finding supports recent studies indicating that balanced egg consumption does not harm health," said Dr. Fuller.
