Scientists Warn That Eating Eggs Every Day Can Have An Unexpected Impact On The Body

Boiled, scrambled, fried, or poached, if you’re an egg lover, it’s time to take note. The popular breakfast staple may be delicious and nutritious, but not many people know what eating eggs on a daily basis is doing to our bodies. Fortunately for us, a team of experts has looked into the matter and released the staggering results of their study. So instead of asking, ‘how d’ya like your eggs in the morning?’, it’s about time we switched to, ‘what are these eggs really doing to me?’.

Hunt for the truth

Eggs are one of the most versatile foods, so it's no wonder we're a nation of egg fanatics. But, unfortunately, there persists one age-old question — are eggs good for us? Now you're certainly not alone if you regularly reach for the egg carton to curb those hunger pangs, but that doesn't mean the results aren't every bit as unsettling. Expert Victor W. Zhong worked on results collected from almost 30,000 people, and the findings shine a troubling new light on the ongoing debate.

Time to face the facts

Be it a savory breakfast omelet or a sweet soufflé — every egg counts. And with all the conflicting health guidance, it can seem like there’s no doing anything right. But if you heed one piece of advice, perhaps it should come from Zhong and his team. The study suggests that current guidance on egg consumption isn’t up to scratch. TCTMD quoted Zhong, “Our study findings suggest a need to reevaluate the current U.S. dietary guideline recommendations.”

Devastating health impacts

You see, according to Zhong and his fellow experts’ study, there could be a real impact on your health if you like to eat even half an egg every day. It’s true, too, that eggs have long been a contentious and divisive topic in the dietary world. So let’s take a closer look at how egg-obsessed we are and the true impact of those eggy cravings on our health.

Eggs-tremely popular

Make no mistake; eggs are big in the food rankings — as Statista revealed. However, you may be stunned at the sheer numbers involved in America alone. Incredibly, the consumer data site announced that just over 110 billion eggs were produced in the States in 2021. And as it happens, certain states are more responsible for that astonishing total than others. Any guesses which ones tip the scales?
