YOGYAKARTA In some studies, eggs include foods that are high in protein but have the potential to increase cholesterol. However, recent research is quite a relief. The reason is, eating eggs every day for a week or a total of 12 eggs is not at risk of high cholesterol with certain records.

Debates about eating eggs how often and related to disease are studied by experts. One of the interesting things is how eggs can affect people at higher risk of developing cardiovascular disease problems. Recent research presented by researchers at American College of Cardiology's Annual Scientific shows that eating a dozen fortified eggs in a week has no significant impact on cholesterol than eating two or less eggs a week.

Although many studies are needed to confirm these findings, this study provides references to how safe it is to eat eggs. Fortification eggs are eggs whose content has been modified from standard eggs. These eggs are enriched in nutrients, omega-3 fatty acids, and some vitamins. These fortified eggs do not worsen cholesterol and may even have the benefits of consuming them.

Eggs contain many beneficial nutrients, such as protein, vitamin B12, iodine, and vitamin D. Launching Medical News Today, Thursday, April 11, there are many options for the type of egg. Fortified eggs have higher nutritional content because certain components are added to chicken feed. In another study, proving that eating one egg a day does not have a major impact on the risk of cardiovascular disease.

gsey Costa, MS., a registered nutritionist, notes that eggs are a source of fatless protein. That means it is both consumed and contains a lot of important mochronutrients. Including folate, vitamin A, B2 or riboflavin, B5, B12, phosphorus, and selenium. However, the composition of eggs varies widely. Depending on the way it is produced and the method of cooking is harmful.

Research on health safety when eating 12 eggs or more this week involved 140 participants with an average age of 66 years. Participants of this study have a level of risk to poor cardiovascular outcomes. Participants are divided into 2 groups, one group is instructed to eat 12 or more eggs which are enforced every week. Other groups eat less than 2 eggs each week.

The results from the study examining cholesterol levels showed HPL (high-density lipoprotein) and LDL (low-density lipoprotein) from participants. Researchers also examined certain levels of micronutrients, lipid levels, and cardiomethabolic biomarkers as well as inflammation. When researchers compared the two groups, they found similar changes in HDL and LDL. This indicates that consuming fortified eggs does not have a negative impact on cholesterol on participants.

Penulis penelitian, Nina Nouhravesh, MD., ahli cardiologi dari Duke Clinical Research Institute, mengatakan. Bahwa konsumsi 12 atau lebih egg terforified selama waktu 4 bulan, tidak berdampak negatif terhadap kholesterol. Khususnya kolesterol LDL atau kolesterol jauh dan HDL atau kolesterol baik jika dibandingkan dengan pasien yang menjalani diet tanpa suplemen egg.

Despite the relief, further research is still needed. Regarding what content is in fortified eggs, the health behavior of research participants, and changes in diet during the study. Not to mention, this research is funded by one of the world's largest egg producers. That is, further observations and research need to be done.
