BOSTON—A new study published in the journal Diabetes Care, reveals a link between daily egg consumption and the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
As reported by Flexnews, the long-term study of 57,000 U.S. adults found that those who ate an egg a day were 58 percent to 77 percent more likely than non-egg-eaters to develop type 2 diabetes.
“Based on the current data, our recommendations would be to consume eggs in moderation and not to exceed six eggs per week," lead researcher Luc Djousse, MD, MPH, DSc, of Harvard Medical School in Boston.
