Consuming up to one egg per day is not associated with an increased risk of coronary heart disease or stroke in the general population.
You can safely eat up to one egg a day without increasing your risk of heart disease or stroke. This applies to the general population. If you have diabetes, the data suggests a potential increased risk for heart disease, so you should consult your doctor for personalized advice.
Consumption of up to one egg per day was not associated with increased risk of coronary heart disease or stroke.
Why this rating
High-quality meta-analysis of prospective cohort studies with large sample sizes (millions of person-years), though observational data cannot prove causation.
