Mindsip insights from this episode:
Examine egg consumption's link to cardiovascular disease risk
A systematic review with multiple researchers funded by the Egg Board was the source that highlighted studies indicating eggs are a cardiovascular disease risk.
Evaluate egg consumption risk for individuals with diabetes
The increased heart failure risk from eggs appears to be driven primarily by individuals with diabetes, while being non-existent for women and neutral for men.
Limit egg consumption to reduce heart failure risk
While overall cardiovascular disease risk appears neutral, data shows a dramatic upward trend in heart failure risk with greater egg consumption.
Examine cholesterol adjustments to uncover egg consumption risks
Paradoxically, studies that statistically adjusted for high blood cholesterol showed increased mortality with egg consumption, while unadjusted data showed no relationship.
Incorporate eggs to lower cardiovascular disease risk in Asian populations
Across multiple contradictory analyses, all studies looking at people in Asia indicated only a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease from eating eggs.
Monitor egg choline intake to manage TMAO and cardiovascular risk
Choline in eggs can be converted by the gut microbiome into a molecule called TMAO, which is also linked to cardiovascular disease.
