According to the American Heart Association (AHA), people with high blood cholesterol or cardiovascular disease should control cholesterol levels from food, including egg yolks. One chicken egg contains about 186mg of cholesterol, mainly in the yolk. "For people at high cardiovascular risk, it is necessary to consider the total amount of cholesterol in their daily diet," AHA recommends.
In addition, people with type 2 diabetes should also be cautious. Some studies observed that consuming eggs at high frequency may be related to an increased risk of cardiovascular events in this group. Dr. Frank Hu, a nutritionist at Harvard University (USA), said: "Drug patients should maintain a balanced diet, prioritize green vegetables, whole grains and limit cholesterol-rich foods.
People with a history of egg allergy or severe fatty liver disease also need to consult a doctor before regular use.
Experts emphasize that for healthy people, eating 3-5 eggs per week is usually safe. The most important thing is still the overall diet and healthy lifestyle to protect cardiovascular health for the long term.
