Studying half-a-million healthy adults aged 30-79 over almost nine years, researchers concluded that "compared with non-consumers, daily egg consumption was associated with lower risk of CVD." And daily egg consumption was associated with an 18-percent lower risk of death from CVD, and a 28-percent lower risk for death from haemorrhagic stroke. In the study group, 13 percent reported daily egg consumption, while nine percent said they never or hardly ever ate them. "The present study finds that there is an association between moderate level of egg consumption (up to 1 egg per day) and a lower cardiac event rate," the authors concluded. But experts not involved in the study, said the results fail to prove that eating eggs actively lowers CVD risk.
