Science is in alliance: Heart-healthy eating can include egg. This is supported by an abundance of research including a recent Harvard study[2] that evaluated three cohorts with up to 32 years of follow-up data. According to the American Heart Association, within the context of a heart-healthy dietary pattern, healthy individuals can include up to a whole egg daily, older healthy individuals can consume up to 2 eggs per day, and vegetarians who do not consume meat-based cholesterol-containing foods may include more eggs in their diets within the context of moderation.[3] To learn more about the recent research on eggs as part of a heart healthy eating pattern, check out this article.
