An international team of researchers found that people who regularly consumed one or more eggs per day had a 60% higher risk of diabetes and that the effect was more pronounced in women than in men.

Scientists have found that regular egg consumption significantly increases the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Their research results were published in the British Journal of Nutrition.

Experts from the Medical University of China, along with colleagues from the University of South Australia and the University of Qatar, studied the dietary data of 8,545 people collected from 1991 to 2009.

It was concluded that consuming more than 38 grams of eggs per day increases the risk of diabetes by approximately 25%. People who eat more than 50 grams (the equivalent of one egg) per day increase their risk by 60%. This indicator is also higher for women than for men.

Ming Li, of the University of South Australia, epidemiologist and public health expert, says rising diabetes in the population is a growing concern, especially in China, where changes in traditional diets are having an impact. on health.

“Diet is a known and modifiable factor that contributes to the onset of type 2 diabetes, so it is important to understand the range of dietary factors that can affect the increasing prevalence of the disease,” explains Dr. Li.

Follow-up to be given

According to the scientists, the results showed that the risk of diabetes increased in direct proportion to the consumption of eggs, but that it will be necessary to identify the exact mechanism of their effect on the body.
