Abstract Background Prospective data examining the relationship between dietary protein intake and incident coronary heart disease (CHD) are inconclusive. Most evidence is derived from homogenous populations such as health professionals. Large community-based analyses in more diverse...

Abstract Eggs are often perceived negatively by consumers, as well as practitioners, due to their high cholesterol content (186 mg per large egg). Common recommendations are to limit cholesterol intake to less than 300 mg/day. However, research has not established a connection between the...
