Do you like eggs? You'd better watch out. Research conducted by scientists from the University of South Australia found that consuming one egg a day can significantly increase the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. This information appeared in the Daily Mail.
Like eggs? Don't overdo it with their consumption
Eating one egg a day raises the risk of diabetes by up to 60 percent. This discovery surprised experts and certainly deserves further analysis. Moreover, it may surprise many people who are struggling with maintaining proper blood sugar levels.
The study involved 8,545 Chinese individuals whose eating habits were closely monitored. Additionally, their blood sugar levels were examined. The results of the observations were surprising. A greater risk of developing diabetes was observed in those who consumed about 60 grams of eggs each day.
Scientists also note the distinction in observation results based on gender. The study results indicate that women may be more vulnerable to this risk. Men who consumed one egg a day had fewer of these problems. The causes of this difference are not clearly explained.
The studies still do not provide definitive evidence to consider these results standard. As Dr. Ming Li notes, further research is needed to confirm the correlation between eating eggs and an increased risk of diabetes. These will likely be conducted over the coming years.
Of course, type 2 diabetes is caused by many other factors. The main one is leading an improper lifestyle. This mainly refers to a lack of physical activity, obesity, or an unhealthy diet rich in processed products. Genetics also has a significant impact on the development of type 2 diabetes.
