Eating eggs does not increase the risk of diabetes

An egg a day for breakfast probably won't increase your likelihood of developing type 2 diabetes, according to a new study.

 

 In the study, researchers failed to see a significant association between eating eggs occasionally or almost daily and the development of type 2 diabetes in nearly 4,000 older men and women.

 

 No relationship was found between any amount of egg consumption and increased risk of type 2 diabetes. No link was found between dietary cholesterol overall and diabetes risk. While men in the top category of egg consumption,  those  eating eggs almost daily, were at increased type 2 diabetes risk, this increase wasn't statistically significant, meaning it could have been due to chance.

 

 The current findings don’t back any significant relationship between egg consumption and type 2 diabetes.
