Eating just one egg a day increases your risk of developing type 2 diabetes by 60 per cent, according to a new study.
Australian researchers who studied a sample of 8,545 Chinese adults found a positively correlation between higher egg consumption and high blood sugar levels in Chinese adults.
Eggs are versatile and nutritious and are promoted as a 'healthy fast food' in the UK, but have proved the ultimate conundrum for diabetes researchers.
Previous studies have indicated that eating eggs can actually keep diabetes at bay, adding a confusing mix of scientific literature to the debate.
This new research suggests regular consumption of an egg a day – either boiled, scrambled, poached or fried – makes you more prone to the condition, which occurs when a person's blood sugar is too high.

it doesn’t surprise me to see the media scaring people away from one the healthiest foods you can possibly put in your body
Humbug. This is China remember. Any connection between reporting and reality is purely coincidental.. Probably seeking to reduce demand for eggs due to a shortage.
Fake news designed to frighten more folks into the plant-based paradigm.
I’ll stick with eating meat & drinking water. If you like eggs, eat them & enjoy!
The incredible edible egg.
I drove off DMII with diet and exercise. Had an egg and some cheese every day for breakfast. No carbs. Worked like a charm.
I have a hard boiled egg almost every day as a snack. I get about a 2-hour energy boost from them. I’m 67 and have doing this for about 6 years. Not giving up my healthy snack because of another “study.”
I’m a piker. I rarely eat over a dozen a week. My sister has eaten 2/day for 25 years. Excellent bloodwork. Maybe because we don’t eat lots of sugar?
good thing fish is pareve otherwize no lox and cream cheese.
I’m very partial to good crab Rangoon.
Most other Chinese food I never cared for much.
A great take-out place a couple of blocks away went under due to this current event.
Every day, fresh crab Rangoon. The best I found in my area.
I ran into the lady who ran the place at big box hardware store parking lot about 2 months ago. She was packing it and going to another state. Super nice woman. I wished her well and how badly I hated to see the place close.
You are correct, eggs are fine and my son has had Type 1 Diabetes since he was 17 years old and eats eggs daily for breakfast. Neither his Endocrinologist or the Dietician on staff has told him that eggs were not good for him.
Lower carb intake, low stress, proper exercise and rest all contribute to a good hormone and blood sugar profile.
Pretty much.
I’ve traveled a lot and finding kosher meat in, say, white sands New Mexico, let alone most of Europe outside of big cities just isn’t going to happen.
So eggs, dairy, fish.
Only if it’s GlenDronach Revival 15-year-old scotch.
What a lifetime crock of sh*t.
It makes a huge difference.
Cherry on top, do meditation, or deep breathing exercises.
It helps switch from the sympathetic nervous system to the parasympathetic.
I have a 4 egg omelet every morning with bacon and toast. Cholesterol and sugar levels have been fine in my blood tests.
Uh no it doesn’t. Eating three eggs a day won’t give you diabetes. Eggs are good for you.
Not this crap again.
Bummer for your son, but he’s getting excellent information. Type 1 is really nasty, since one mistake in applying insulin can be lethal. So, and I’m not a doctor (so keep that in mind!), I would always recommend staying away from carbs whenever possible for Type 1’s, which was the official recommendation before insulin was available (100 years ago)...still not enough, but people did live longer that way, back then. Now, with insulin available, if one eats as little carbs as possible, I suspect that just a bit of insulin would be needed to balance blood glucose...and that maintaining a decent level of would be much easier.
...again, just the peanut gallery here, but I am applying simple logic, which doesn’t seem to be in the capabilities of much of the medical establishment.
