Given all of the well-known benefits to eating eggs—which range from boosting your immune system to helping you lose weight to improving your cognitive health—you may have wondered if it's possible to eat too many of them. After all, with 6 grams of protein, 5 grams of healthy fat, and lots of vitamins, the humble egg is among the most nutritious foods on the planet. But according to a study conducted by researchers from the University of South Australia, Qatar University, and the China Medical University, the answer is most certainly yes—and the results will surprise you. Read on for more on what the scientists discovered, and for more pressing news about your breakfast, make sure you know why Science Says It's Dangerous to Drink Your Coffee This Way.

The study, published in The British Journal of Nutrition, focused on nearly 30 years of data (1991 to 2019) for roughly 9,000 adults in China, where diabetes cases are on the rise. "Over the past few decades China has undergone a substantial nutritional transition that's seen many people move away from a traditional diet comprising grains and vegetables, to a more processed diet that includes greater amounts of meat, snacks and energy-dense food," explained Ming Li, MD, Ph.D, an epidemiologist at the University of South Australia. "Diet is a known and modifiable factor that contributes to the onset Type 2 diabetes, so understanding the range of dietary factors that might impact the growing prevalence of the disease is important."

I’m a mostly “Paleo” foods kind of guy.
I still enjoy my Icelandic yogurt, cheese, and the occasional pizza slice.
But mostly animals, vegetables, fruits, tubers, nuts & seeds.

If all of those are bad for you, I want to die...

[SamAdams76]

Siggi's 9% milkfat yogurt for me every morning (with the eggs) and berries swirled in the yogurt (though Siggi's is closer to cheese).

Sardines and almonds for lunch.

After that start each day, you can eat pretty much whatever you want for dinner!

Same yogurt, but I’ll trade sardines for cooked salmon.

We have a very similar plan.

I forgot to include chocolate.

Eggs make zero contribution towards diabetes

Actually, quite the opposite: eggs assist insulin production.

[zek157]

I stand on my statement. It is absolutely irrelevant if eggs assist in physical production of insulin. I suspect any protein would do the same. So what?

Insulin will not be released in the blood stream until blood sugars are too high.

I read that soft boiled eggs were better than hard boiled. Did the researchers consider how the eggs were cooked?

Bacon, eggs, hash browns and toast - breakfast of champions. Been eating that nearly my entire life, except for an interruption during my USMC tour.

God bless chickens, Idaho spuds, pig farmers and San Francisco sour dough. I am in your debt.

[mylife]

I am with you brother..

I mix the yogurt with oatmeal but prefer eggs, hashbrowns, bacon toast and tapatio.

It just aint as portable.

Olive oil, huh? Will give it a go. Diabetes is an awful disease, and I don’t want it. But I eat eggs, bacon, sausage...

Here is a bit more information:

Watermelon has the compound olive oil and balsamic vinegar has, too, apparently.

[SamAdams76]

I love salmon as well but sardines are more convenient for packing for work - just peel the lid off and eat out of tin. It's an acquired taste but one well worth acquiring. I prefer packed in olive oil as opposed to water, it does take the edge off the "fishy" taste that so many abhor and the olive oil packs antioxidants as well as ample amounts of vitamins E and K.

Before my paleo eating ways, I used to have the sardines with hard crackers and that might be the way for novices to start out. After a while, you learn to appreciate the sardines all by themselves.

I get (fresh) salmon often but it can also be good out of a can. Rubenstein's has a decent price for canned red wild salmon from Alaska.

Bacon, eggs, hash browns and toast - breakfast of champions. Been eating that nearly my entire life, except for an interruption during my USMC tour.

Actually it was the USMC that introduced me to bacon and eggs for breakfast. When I was growing up, my mom basically poured milk into breakfast cereal. Cocoa Puffs, Frosted Flakes, Frankenberry, Raisin Bran, Lucky Charms - whatever was on sale at the supermarket. Was pitched to moms as a "healthy" breakfast for kids. After all, despite the fact it was 90% sugar, it was "fortified" with vitamins!

When there wasn't cold cereal, there was Pop-tarts. Don't get me started. My entire childhood was a nutritional nightmare because my mom listened to the conventional wisdom of the "experts." I somehow survived however.
