Eggs are frequently on the discussion board of health. They are packed with protein and have nutrients necessary for good health but on the other hand, they contain cholesterol and fats that may have an impact of some people’s metabolism. In a recent study, researchers found that the good side of egg information is taking the lead. For those with Type 2 diabetes, there’s no correlation with egg consumption either in exacerbating or causing the disease. It’s okay to eat eggs once again.

Key Takeaways:

  • Eating eggs wasn’t found to be strongly linked to type-2 diabetes when looking at research even over 7 or more years
  • Eating eggs isn’t directly related to higher levels of calcium in coronary arteries
  • There is confusion about the nutritional quality of eggs based on them having lots of essential nutrients but also lots of cholesterol

“As noted in an article on the latest analysis at Diabetes.co.uk, the researchers found no consistent relationship between egg consumption and the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes over follow-up periods as long as 7 years.”
