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.

I learned to make the perfect Omelet from the gals at ‘America’s Test Kitchen/Cook’s Country.’ Pro Tip: It’s all in the length of time you beat the eggs.
Whenever I make something that Beau really likes, he always asks, ‘Who taught you this? Bridget or Julia?’ ;)
We are ALL dead men walking.
Shhhhh... don’t tell anybody but the dirty little secret is:
- We are ALL going to die of something someday.
Every. Last. One of us.
This type of malarkey about what we should and shouldn’t eat changes direction so much that I have neck trouble after watching the “tennis match” for so many years.
Use your brain as far as nutrition. Simple as that.
A Twinkie isn’t going to kill you. A diet of nothing BUT Twinkies probably will cut your days short.
But it’s YOUR life. YOU get to make those choices, not the government and not the so-called “experts” who change their minds every couple of years..
George Carlin found that swallowing one’s saliva causes cancer.
Need a crack Wuhan research team to get right on that one.
In the 70’s and 80’s whole gigs were bad for you. In the 2000’s they changed that and said whole eggs were good for you. Now we’re going back?
Are you saying Lan Lam can’t whisk an egg? ;)
Is this BS back? And from the Chinese yet? And just what does a 7% chance of death mean anyway? The terms are so vague they can be interpreted a dozen ways and I suspect that’s the idea.
All of the nutrients are in the yolk.
I’m 75 years old, and I’m going to spend the rest of my years eating what I damn well please.
Swallowing small bits of saliva for years will eventually kill you!>...............
Yep, I am a dead man walking.

Eggs are multivitamins. I eat at least two a day.
A large egg contains the following, according to the USDA:
72 calories
0g carbohydrates
6g protein
5g total fat
1.5g saturated fat (8% DV)
0g fiber
0g sugar
69mg potassium (1% DV)
6mg magnesium (1% DV)
28mg calcium
0.8mg iron (3% DV)
99mg phosphorus
0.08mg vitamin B6 (5% DV)
0.45 mcg vitamin B12 (10% DV)
270 IU vitamin A
41 IU vitamin D (11% DV)
Oh, so they’re bad again? Wake me for breakfast when another study says they’re good for you.

Correlation is not causation.
Research forgot to mention previous research found the white of the egg countered the effects of the yolk. I will continue to eat quiche, omelettes, whatever I want with eggs!
“Chinese researchers who led the study believe high fat and cholesterol levels in eggs are to blame.”
Gee, I wonder if American tax payer$ funded thi$ “$tudy”?
Both of my grandmothers started every day with two eggs, buttered toast, bacon or sausage, orange juice. It’s always what they served me whenever I visited. They lived to 95 and 96.
“I guess we’ll have to go back to eating 40 bran muffins a day.”
Be sure to have a lot of toilet paper handy. LOL.
“I guess we’ll have to go back to eating 40 bran muffins a day.”
And that howling mournful sound throughout the land will be the cries of millions of straining rectums.
If I was King I would mandate that no scientific study be published without a full (and honest)list of who paid for the research.
