Abstract


Eating eggs does not have an impact on the incidence of heart disease because
many other causes and predisposing factors such as total fat content of the diet,
heredity, social and business stress, drugs, excessive alcoholic consumption, smoking,
overeating, obesity and lack of exercise are directly associated with heart disease
incidence. As the cholesterol stigma becomes less of an issue for eggs, health
professionals and nutritional scientists are now focusing on the many contributions of
eggs to the quality and nutritional values of human diets. The impact of eating eggs on
heart disease of humans are briefly reviewed.
