Egg Consumption and Risk of Type 2 Diabetes in Men and Women.


A new study published in Nov 18, 2008 issue of Diabetes Care suggests that eating eggs increases risk of type 2 diabetes both in men and women. For the study, the researchers looked at data from two completed randomized trial involving 20,703 men from Physicians' Health Study I (1982 to 2007) and 36,295 women from the Women’s Health Study (1992-2007). Diabetes was more common in men and women who reported eating more than the average one egg a week.
Medpage Today has given a good summary of the article, but if you would like to read the full article you will need to contact your Librarian. DiabetesNSW has also summarized the findings on their news page.
