The study reveals that it is appropriate for adults in China to eat 3 to 6 eggs per week.

Original title: Research revealed that chinese adults eat 3 to 6 eggs a week is appropriate
days ago, the National Cardiovascular Disease Center, the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, the hospital researchers found that egg intake and cardiovascular disease (coronary heart disease, stroke medium) and the overall risk of death showed a U-shaped relationship, eating too many eggs or too little is not conducive to cardiovascular health. The study found that people who ate three to six eggs a week had the lowest risk of cardiovascular disease and total death. By comparison, people who ate less than one egg a week had a 22 percent and 29 percent higher risk of cardiovascular disease and total death, respectively, while those who ate 10 or more eggs a week had a 39 percent and 13 percent higher risk, respectively. The paper appears in the English edition of China Science: Life Sciences.
are rich in high-quality protein and vitamins, lecithin is rich, but egg yolks contain a lot of cholesterol, eating too much may lead to elevated blood lipids. In recent years, the relationship between egg intake and cardiovascular disease and total risk of death has been controversial. With the 2015 Dietary Guidelines for U.S. Residents announcing the removal of dietary cholesterol caps, our dietary guidelines also remove the dietary cholesterol recommendation of 300 mg/day. Although the Chinese Society of Preventive Medicine and the American Heart Association have issued scientific statements stressing that removing the cholesterol intake limit does not mean unlimited intake, some people still misunderstand this adjustment as cholesterol can be free to eat, eat eggs more beneficial.
, the researchers analyzed data from two larger studies: the China Atherosclerosis Cardiovascular Disease Risk Prediction Study and the China Chronic Disease Prospective Study. The former covers 15 provinces and cities in China, with a maximum follow-up time of 17 years, and includes a total of 102,136 subjects. Initially, the participants did not suffer from major chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, tumor and end-stage kidney disease, but a total of 4848 cases of cardiovascular disease (including 1273 cases of coronary heart disease and 2919 cases of stroke) occurred during follow-up, resulting in a total of 5511 deaths from various causes. The researchers said that about 25% of the study subjects ate an average of 3 to 6 eggs per week, while the proportion of people who ate less than 1 and at least 10 per week also reached 12% and 24%, respectively, the population's egg intake is larger differences, the first time in the general population in China revealed the adverse effects of eating eggs in large numbers on cardiovascular health.
a nine-year follow-up study of chronic diseases in China found that people who ate about five eggs a week had an 11 percent lower risk of cardiovascular disease than those who ate two or less eggs a week. However, the study failed to detect the potential risks of eating eggs in large quantities with small samples from high-intake groups.
, the researchers note that egg intake has different effects on different types of cardiovascular disease. Specifically, eating too little eggs is prone to hemorrhagic stroke, while eating too much coronary heart disease and ischemic stroke are more likely to occur.
researchers said that in view of China's dietary cholesterol intake and high cholesterolemia prevalence trend and the results of this study, China needs to guide the public to reasonably control dietary cholesterol intake to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease in the population, for those with low egg intake, may consider appropriate increased intake, recommended that the general adult eat 3 to 6 eggs per week.
