Study Summary
Eggs contain an essential nutrient called choline and adequate levels of choline are required for good health. Studies in mice have demonstrated that high levels of choline may increase risk of heart disease through a process that involves the breakdown of choline by gut bacteria. Previous research did not show that human consumption of eggs increases risk of heart disease. This study is designed to investigate whether the number of eggs in the diet affects blood and urine markers for heart disease.
