Differing Statistical Approaches Affect the Relation between Egg Consumption, Adiposity, and Cardiovascular Risk Factors in Adults
Nicklas TA, O'Neil CE, Fulgoni, VL, J Nutr. 2015 Jan;145(1):170S-6S. doi: 10.3945/jn.114.194068. Epub 2014 Dec 3. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25527676 Abstract Background: Associations between food patterns and adiposity are poorly understood. Objective: Two statistical approaches...
Dietary protein intake and coronary heart disease in a large community based cohort: results from the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) Study
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...
Daily egg consumption does not promote adverse effects on heart disease risk factors in resistance trained adults
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...
The effect of a high-egg diet on cardiovascular risk factors in people with type 2 diabetes: the Diabetes and Egg (DIABEGG) study—a 3-mo randomized controlled trial
Background Previously published research that examined the effects of high egg consumption in people with type 2 diabetes (T2D) produced conflicting results leading to recommendations to limit egg intake. However, people with T2D may benefit from egg consumption because eggs are a...

US guideline may drop cholesterol limits but keep link between dietary saturated fats and trans fats and heart disease
BMJ 2015; 350 doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.1136/bmj.h835 (Published 18 February 2015) Cite this as: BMJ 2015;350:h835 A draft version of a document due out later this year may no longer warn consumers to limit their consumption of dietary cholesterol. The 2015 version of the Dietary...
Effects of egg ingestion on endothelial function in adults with coronary artery disease: A randomized, controlled, crossover trial
Background Prevailing recommendations call for restricting intake of dietary cholesterol and eggs for those at risk of heart disease, despite accumulating evidence challenging this association. Our prior studies showed no short-term adverse effects of daily egg intake on cardiac risk...
Eggs: A case for inclusion in dietary guidelines?

Diets Higher in Protein Predict Lower High Blood Pressure Risk in Framingham Offspring Study Adults
Background Short-term clinical trials suggest that dietary protein lowers blood pressure (BP); however, long-term effects of total, animal, and plant proteins are less clear. Our goal was to evaluate effects of these dietary proteins on mean systolic BP (SBP) and diastolic BP (DBP) and...
