New Clinical Study Reveals Consuming 12 Eggland's Best Eggs Weekly Shows No Negative Effects on Cholesterol Levels; Study Also Suggests Possible Benefits for Some Consumers
CEDAR KNOLLS, N.J., April 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Americans are increasingly aware of the impact of cholesterol on heart health and well-being, but for decades, there have been conflicting headlines about which foods can have positive or negative effects. Eggs, in particular, have often received negative press related to cholesterol. However, a new study presented at the American College of Cardiology's Annual Scientific Session that was led by researchers at Duke and sponsored by Eggland's Best, offers promising new evidence on fortified eggs.
- The clinical trial studied 140 participants from a broadly generalized population who had a high risk of heart disease.
- Researchers randomized participants into two groups, asking half to eat two or fewer eggs per week for four months.
- Ultimately, the study found that over 4 months, eating Eggland's Best eggs resulted in no adverse effects on lipid profiles and markers of cardiovascular risk for these patients.
- The consumption of Eggland's Best eggs may also increase Vitamin B12 levels, also helping to support a healthier lifestyle.
