The spread of food hoaxes on the web is now increasing. The less experienced in the use of the net are not always able to understand which news and sources to rely on and, consequently, to distinguish what is true from what is false. After all, it is not difficult to dye a writing of fake authority in such a way as to deceive the reader and push him to believe its content. In most cases this also happens thanks to the adoption of an apparently scientific language, but in reality full of inaccuracies.
In the first months of 2020 it was often heard of the advice to completely eliminate eggs from your diet. According to those who argued and still maintains this, the consumption of eggs (a priori from their actual quantity) would increase the risk of some diseases. In this case we are not strictly speaking of a food hoax, but of an inaccuracy touted with alarmist tones, even if the subject has actually been debated for a long time.
Therefore, in the following article the editorial staff of Proiezionidiborsa will try to answer the question: is eating eggs bad for you?
The answer
It seems that the consumption of one egg per day does not increase the risk of incidence of cardiovascular diseases and stroke as previously believed. He says it a scientific study conducted by a team of researchers from the Population Health Research Institute (Phri) of McMaster University and Hamilton Health Sciences, Canada.
The data taken into consideration are those of three studies which involved 177,000 people from 50 different countries. Of these, 146,000 were healthy and 31,000 suffering from cardiovascular disease.
The researchers observed their eating habits and deduced that there is no health risk associated with the consumption of one egg per day.
Is eating eggs bad for you? Moderation is the key!
In general, it is evident, as often happens, that the answer to the question lies somewhere in between. In fact, completely eliminating eggs from your diet would be a perfectly avoidable excess of caution! The best thing is to consume them in moderation: no more than one a day.
It seems that in the past the EAT – Lancet commission has recommended the consumption of only 1.5 eggs per week, but the scientific study cited has instead confirmed that eating more eggs is instead useful for individuals with a diet of “Poor quality due to low income”.
