Eggs safe for heart: Study17 Dec 2008, 1053 hrs IST, IANS

WASHINGTON: If you 're really fond of eggs, then you need not worry about relishing one too many. An egg a day's contribution to the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) in healthy adults is just one percent, according to a new study funded by an industry body.

Poor diet, smoking, obesity and physical inactivity contribute a whopping 30-40 percent to heart disease risk, depending on gender.

The study, funded by the Egg Nutrition Centre and published online in Risk Analysis, substantiates decades of research challenging the myth that the cholesterol in eggs is linked to increased heart disease risk.

 

Yes, you guessed it - it was sponsored by Egg Nutrition Center - that would want to promote Eggs - even though they contain high level of cholesterol.
