Scientists Explain The Impact Of Eating Eggs Daily
If even Dean Martin was singing about them, then it’s little wonder we’re a nation of egg fanatics. The popular store-cupboard staple may be notoriously delicious and surprisingly nutritious, but not many people know what eating eggs on the regular is doing to our bodies. Fortunately for us, a team of experts has looked into the matter and released the staggering results of their study. So instead of asking, ‘how d’ya like your eggs in the morning?’, it’s about time we switched to, ‘what are these eggs really doing to me?’. Boiled, scrambled, fried, or poached, if you’re an egg lover, it’s time to take note.
Hunt for the truth
The versatility of eggs is an undisputed fact. And with good reason! They can be whipped up in a whole load of different ways. Unfortunately, there still persists one age-old question that just won’t budge — are eggs good for us? Now you’re certainly not alone if you regularly turn to the egg box to curb those hunger pangs, but that doesn’t mean the results aren’t every bit as unsettling. Expert Victor W. Zhong’s worked on results collected from almost 30,000 people, and the staggering findings shine a troubling new light on the ongoing debate.
Time to face the facts
Scrambled, poached, or even made into an omelet — every egg counts. And with all of the health guidance out there, it can seem like there’s no doing anything right. But if you heed one piece of advice, perhaps it should come from Zhong and his team. In fact, the study even seems to suggest that current guidance on egg consumption isn’t up to scratch. Zhong was quoted by TCTMD, “Our study findings suggest a need to reevaluate the current U.S. dietary guideline recommendations.”
Devastating health impacts
You see, according to Zhong and his fellow experts’ study – the results of which emerged in March 2019 – there could be a real impact on your health if you like to eat even half an egg every day. It’s true, too, that eggs have long been a contentious and divisive topic in the dietary world. So let’s take a closer look at just how egg-obsessed we really are, and the true impact of those eggy cravings on our health.
Eggs-tremely popular
Make no mistake, eggs are big in the food rankings — as Statista revealed. In fact, you may just be stunned at the sheer numbers involved in America alone. Incredibly, the consumer data site announced that just over 110 billion eggs were produced in the States in 2021. And as it happens, certain states are more responsible for that astonishing total than others. Any guesses which ones tip the scales?
