A recent study showed that middle-aged men who eats seven or more eggs a week have a higher risk of earlier death. According to the study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, this is because eggs are very rich in cholesterol, which in turn can clog arteries and raise the risk of heart attack and stroke.Heart attack and stroke has been two of the top perpetrator of male death in the world today.
However, the researchers who did the study warn the public about not consuming eggs at all. They said that eggs, like any other food, are either "good" or "bad" for you, and can be a part of an overall heart-healthy diet. The issue here is the amount of a certain food is consumed by an individual.
The researchers would also like to clarify that they are not saying that egg consumption is not associated with heart attack or stroke. But among the men who became part of this study, 23 per cent suffered heart attack and stroke.
