Boiled, fried, scrambled or in an omelette, whole eggs pose a threat to health and eating more of them increases your risk of death, a study claims.
Researchers found eating just half a whole egg — which includes the yolk and the white — increases the likelihood of dying by seven per cent.
Risk of death increases by a further seven per cent for every half an egg on top of this, so a person eating one egg a day has at 14 per cent greater chance of death than someone who avoids the food.
Chinese researchers who led the study believe high fat and cholesterol levels in eggs are to blame.
They warned that people should use only the whites or switch to healthier egg substitutes, which lower the risk of dying.
Substituting an equivalent amount of nuts or legumes for half a whole egg reduced death rates by up to a third. Poultry, dish or dairy products had a similar effect.

Breathing every day guarantees you will die. 100%
So, according to this research I died in 1970. Got it.
i remember when butter was supposed to kill us, and relentless propaganda convinced the sheeple to switch to margarine, which REALLY DID KILL PEOPLE!
I just had 2 eggs for breakfast. I guess I’m up to 28%
It’s my understanding that eating bacon along with a whole egg negates any harmful effects of said egg (or eggs).
That’s my story...and I’m sticking to it.
Why eat an egg without the yoke? Isn’t that what the idea is?
Oh crap
I guess we’ll have to go back to eating 40 bran muffins a day.
What’s next? Leisure suits? Disco dancing?
What is this, a study funded by Big Wheat back in 1974?
Last time is was “eggs will give you diabetes”.
I read once that if you were stranded on a desert island for life and could only choose 3 foods for the rest of your life to live on, those 3 foods should be eggs, milk, and dog food. Most nutritious three options apparently.
So... if I stop eating eggs I may not die?
I eat 2 or 3 a day, 3 would give me a 42% increased chance of death.
Even better, if I eat more than 7 in a day my chance of death is 100%. Time for an experiment.
This just in, enjoying life may be hazardous to your health.
If you eat a half an egg it goes up to 107%.
FWIW, I think this is aimed at America’s poultry industry and farmers.
Cui bono...?
Stop funding this inane research and stupid scientists, so called.
I eat at least a half dozen eggs a week, but I offset them with healthy items like pancakes, coffee and bacon.
China
Wouldn’t trust it.
They probably have an egg shortage or want their people to switch for some other reason.
So, I am 114% likely to die now, since I ate a whole egg yesterday?
Ridiculous.
