"Here's Why" summarized by kagi The egg has been a source of debate in the nutrition world for decades, with some touting its health benefits and others warning of its cholesterol content. A recent study published in JAMA found that eating more than two large eggs a day was associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and death. However, nutrition research is often unreliable due to its reliance on observational studies, which are imprecise and lack controls. Dr. Jules Hirsch's controlled experiments on human nutrition are considered a gold-standard in nutrition science, but are impractical to do on a large scale. Experts recommend avoiding processed foods and sticking with a Mediterranean-like diet. Interestingly, studies of one particular food or macronutrient are impossible to disentangle from the accompanying foods and macronutrients that characterize a typical dietary pattern.
