An egg a day may keep diabetes away
Eating
an egg
daily can have a beneficial effect on the blood metabolite profile that is
related to a lower risk of Type-2
diabetes, a new study shows.
The
findings showed that the blood samples of men who ate more eggs included
certain lipid molecules that positively correlated with the blood profile of
men who remained free of Type-2
diabetes.
"The
study explored potential compounds that could explain this association using
non-targeted metabolomics, a technique that enables a broad profiling of
chemicals in a sample," said lead author Stefania Noerman from the
University of Eastern Finland.
Eggs
remain one of the most controversial food items. High intake of eggs has
traditionally been discouraged, mainly due to their high cholesterol content.
However,
eggs are also a rich source of many bioactive compounds that can have
beneficial effects on health. This means that the health effects of consuming
eggs are difficult to determine based solely on their cholesterol content, the
researchers said. Read
