Eating an egg a day has no connection with the risk of coronary heart disease, but it can reduce the risk of stroke by about 12%. Apoplexy is a loss of brain function due to the obstruction of the brain's blood supply. Coronary heart disease is a kind of myocardial ischemia, hypoxia or necrotizing heart disease caused by coronary stenosis or obstruction.
The researchers say that eggs contain a lot of nutrients, such as proteins, antioxidants, and so on, but more studies are needed to understand the association between eating eggs and the risk of stroke.
For many years, many doctors advised people not to eat too many eggs, one of the reasons is that they have high cholesterol. But in January this year, the US government removed the cholesterol intake limit every 5 years, which meant that there was no need to worry about eating eggs. However, the new edition of the guide has sparked controversy in the United States. Nonprofit organizations say the poultry and egg industry has exerted great influence on the guide. At least 3 people in the Advisory Committee on the guidelines have received financial support from the poultry and egg industry, and the other is nominated directly by the industry.
