Finnish studies say eating one egg a day does not increase the risk of stroke.

BEIJING, May 26 (Xinhua) -- Eating moderately high levels of
cholesterol
or eating one
egg a day
does not increase the risk of stroke, according to a new Finnish study.
stroke, also known as stroke, is a cerebrovascular disease caused by blocked blood vessels or ruptured blood vessels. Some people think that high cholesterol levels in eggs increase the risk of stroke. But previous studies have found different conclusions about whether eating moderately high cholesterol or eating eggs increases the risk of stroke, and some studies have shown that eating eggs can reduce the risk of stroke.
Researchers at the University of Eastern Finland and others reported in a new issue of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition that they surveyed 1,950 men between the ages of 42 and 60 who did not have cardiovascular disease in the late 1980s. Over the next 21 years, 217 people suffered strokes.
analysis showed no association between moderate high cholesterol intake or eating eggs and stroke risk. Although many of the subjects carried the APOE4 variant that affects cholesterol metabolism, the researchers did not find a link between moderate intake of high cholesterol or eating eggs and a risk of stroke.
study, the group with the highest cholesterol intake consumed an average of 520 milligrams of cholesterol per day and an average of one egg per day. An egg has a cholesterol content of about 200 milligrams. This at least suggests that this level of intake does not increase the risk of stroke, the researchers said.
the researchers admit that the study has some limitations, that none of the subjects have a history of cardiovascular disease, and that the study as a whole is small, so the conclusions need to be further verified.
