There are too many delicacies related to eggs. Chili scrambled eggs, tomato scrambled eggs, egg fried rice, egg-filled cakes , fried eggs, and copper coin eggs are all familiar delicacies.
Even boiled eggs, without any seasoning, are still the favorite of many people. People love eggs, on the one hand, because they are delicious, and on the other hand, they are rich in nutrients.
Eggs are rich in high-quality protein , vitamins, trace elements, lecithin and many other beneficial substances. The protein contained in an egg is about 12%, and the weight of an egg is about 50-60g. When eating one egg, It can probably supplement 6-7.2g of protein for the human body.
However, although eggs are good, aren’t the more you eat, the better?
A paper published in the journal "PLOS Medicine" overturned people's traditional understanding. This study, led by Zhejiang UniversityProfessors Zhang Yu and Jiao Jingjing, collected more than 521,120 Americans aged 50-71. Volunteers, by analyzing their eating habits and disease occurrence data, understand the relationship between egg, cholesterol intake and all-cause and cause-specific mortality.
After an average follow-up period of 16 years, the researchers found that eating too many eggs and consuming an additional 300 mg of dietary cholesterol per day was associated with a 19% increased risk of premature death, a 16% increased risk of death from cardiovascular disease, and a 24% increased risk of cancer death. risk.
After seeing such research, many people will exclaim, God, can we no longer eat eggs?
In fact, if we analyze the details a little, we can find that the research suggests that eating too many eggs increases the risk. In fact, any food is the same as eggs, and it is not excessive consumption.
To give a simple example, milk is good for health, right? Of course, milk is called white blood. Milk is rich in protein, calcium and vitamins, but milk, like eggs, also contains cholesterol. If you drink too much milk, it will also lead to excess cholesterol, which is harmful to your health.
Another example is fruit. Are fruits good for health? Of course, excessive intake will not only increase blood sugar, but also increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract.
It can be seen that any kind of food, no matter how good it is, is not suitable for eating too much, and eggs are no exception.
Overeating eggs is not good, but eating eggs in moderation is good for health. So, how many eggs should we eat every day?
The "European Journal of Nutrition" once published a study that collected 28,000 healthy people and ate one egg a day. After 10 years of follow-up, it was finally found that one egg a day did not increase the risk of cardiovascular death.
Therefore, one egg a day is actually the best. It can not only supplement nutrition, but will not increase blood lipids . However, the way of cooking eggs is equally important. Compared with boiled eggs , fried eggs will contain more fat. high.
