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.

i think eggs are highly featured in asian diet.
westernerss seem to eat them for breakfast but they are in a lot of asian foods
or maybe I am just talking out my backside since i have no Asians in my family
Don’t tell me. They’ve come up with a vegan version of an egg?-)
Trust the science. All I need is the air I breath sans CO2 to save the earth.
Bull crap. Nor buying the latest dietary chicken littling.
there is. dont remember details
Or not
Yawn. Wait a while and another study will claim the opposite.
Let me see if I get this right. A protein and fat food makes one’s blood sugar rise and insulin inefficient. Is that correct?
Does it also lead to covid?
LOL! That cracked me up!
Maybe it’s Chinese eggs? Considering the toxic swill they feed their peasants, I’d hate to see what the Chicoms feed their layer hens.
Pretty sure they didn’t test this and included beer in the diet, which I believe offsets any deleterious effects of everything :)
So we’ve swung back around to “eggs are bad” again, eh? I remember they went from being a breakfast staple to a cholesterol trap, to nature’s perfect food, and now back to “diabetes risk”. Whatever sells papers, I guess.
“The study specifically focused on people in China, which has undergone a transition away from a traditional diet comprising grains and vegetables, to a more processed diet that includes greater amounts of meat, snacks and eggs, according to Dr Li. “ See, folks, this is why I don’t do science. I would be thinking “Gee, wonder if it’s all the highly processed crap and them going from a regular diet to sludge-in-a-box?” and not “Eggs! It’s the eggs! Stay away from the eggs!”
Previous studies have indicated that eating eggs can actually keep diabetes at bay, adding a confusing mix of scientific literature to the debate.
Then I think we know how much credence to give to this study.
That’s why you should always eat two or three, with bacon, toast, lots of butter, and black coffee. Yum.
I should have been dead ages ago.
I wonder who hatched THAT one up!
Good thing I’m not Chinese
I’ve eaten almost 30 eggs a week for the better part of two decades. Why am I not dead?
