I read a report in a web forum some days ago. It said that women who eat eggs everyday are more likely die.In our daily life, an egg is the most common food and nurition, but often it has brain puzzle, protect the liver and the arteriosclerosis,cancer prevention, anti-aging and so on. However, Japanese scientists conducted a 14-year-long study found that compared with their peers every day to eat one egg or more of the number of women with eating only one or two eggs per week than women, the death rate should be higher. They consider that the women who eat the largest number of eggs are likely to suffer from heart disease and stroke, so the women have the higher probability of death. What's more, they argued that the males have nothing wrong with eatting eggs. What's your opinions? Do you think so?

it is really a terrible report. i don't know whether i should believe it or not. i eat an egg for every breakfast because it is easy to cook and nutrious. in our country, women eat many eggs every day during the postpartum period which lasts a month. does it mean the eggs which are supposed to provide nutrition to the women actually have done harm to them.

After I read the report,I also felt very surprised. There is no doubt that egg is very nutritious as one kind of food and it's a kind of very common food.I hope that women in your country eat eggs in the right amounts,and they can be provided some substitute nutritious foods.

What website was this information posted on? Was it a reputable source? This sounds ridiculous to me. Why would women be more likely to die from eggs than men. I think further research would be needed to verify this conclusion. I know women who eat eggs almost everyday and they are well into their sixties. No signs of heart problems or strokes. I do, however, believe eating a large quantity of eggs everyday would be bad for anyone. Maybe I didn't understand the question clearly. Are you comparing women to women or women to men. If the first case is true, then that could be a legitimate statistic. I would like to know if they ate other foods that caused heart problems or high cholesterol. People who tend to eat a lot of a particular food, tend to eat a lot of food in general. So, if these women who are eating more eggs than the others are also eating more food in general that could also be a reason for higher stoke and heart disease.

Oh, the website is one kind of academic forum about food and nutrition,which should be more authoritative. It said that the scientists got the conclusion after their studying through doing comparison between the women and comparing the women with the men.I think that the comclution that they have got is just preliminary,hope that they can publish the more in-depth results.

Well, I can say that the women who eat eggs everyday will die of being bored with their taste before some health problem coming to them . Seriously, I think that even a good thing can turn bad if people abuse it. But for any research, I believe in the result if it is made out from logical arguments and scientifical explanations but not only from some statistics.

Well, I have read before that eating to many eggs is not good for health. May it be man or woman considering that the egg yolk is high in cholesterol. It is best to control the intake of egg yolk. This is the first time however that I have read about greater risk for women and lesser for men in so far as eating eggs. Generally men are more prone to heart disease as compared to women. But maybe in the sense of eating eggs, women are more likely to have higher risk considering that men are more active than women in so far as physical activity is concerned. So in my own perception, when men and women eat the same amount of eggs, the risk for men is smaller due to physical activity. Most likely the cholesterol deposit in men is does not easily develop in the coronary arteries of the heart due to movement.

yes,this may be related to the physical activities of men.The male have a lot of physical activities every day, and after their intake of eggs, the cholesterol in the yolk will soon digested, so it will not cause any harm to their bodies. But for many female, they don't have enough physical activities and the cholesterol will deposit in their bodies,thus affecting their health.

Hi ymkwcw, well I have a problem with the actual basic premise here. You say "women who eat eggs everyday are more likely to die". Everyone is actually guaranteed to die, it is the only certainty in life. One is more likely to die younger by stressing over each new contradictory report on what is purporedly good for us one day and bad for us the next. Enjoy your eggs.

Hello,my meaning is that the natural life of the women who eat too much eggs everyday is shorten than their peers who don't eat much eggs everyday.

Well,i think it sounds amazing and horrified.The report can't be further proved until now,so it's really not very pursive.Eggs are good healthy to young people,or the old people eating too much is harmful.Perhaps their conclution can be just proved that their are too much man-made products in the things we use and we eat.

I read last week that it is supposed to be acceptable to eat 6 eggs a week...I do believe it is the yoke that is not so good but i think it is ok to eat occasionally.

yes,the main problem is that the scientists didn't give the exact date,it perhaps will mislead some people.But whether it is true or false,it just gives our female friends a suggestion that not eat too much eggs.

Well I believe that after 40 both men and women should restrict their intake of eggs, specially the yolk which is said to be high in cholesterol and therefore a cause of heart attack. I’m sure you know that we women are protected from many diseases by our hormones but after menopause, the protection diminishes a lot….maybe that’s why it is said that women after a certain age should minimize intake of eggs. However, I could not understand why is it OK for men to continue with eating as many eggs as they like!

I have read several publications about eating eggs and its effects on our health and they rarely agree on everything. A molecular scientist published an article that it's ok to eat 6 eggs a day, some says eggs contain bad cholesterol which can harm the body, another says that the cholesterol in eggs are not harmful. Confusing statements. I think the important thing to remember is any thing excessive is dangerous. have fun

well why should people eat one same thing every day anyway? life is about balance, find balance in everything, even in nutrition egg today and egg tomorrow for a week is not healthy why not egg today, something else tomorrow and so on, then after a week, egg again I really don't know if the research is justifiable but in general it's not good to eat the same thing every day anyway I know you don't mean eating egg -only- every day but still it must be very boring to find egg in your meal every day I like eggs myself and yet I can't see myself find eggs in my food every day, maybe every 3 days that is fine

There is a danger when you eat anything. Eating habits and attitutes change as the years go by. People in China believed it causes diseases to eat fish head in the 1980's or earlier. But now they pay very much to eat fish head because they now believe the head is the most nutricious part of the fish.... Science will lead us to different lives and eating habits.

Do you mean raw eggs or cooked? because many foods are consisting eggs ;) And why it's only having bad affect on women? is there any explaination why men are "immune" to it's bad effect?

Hello,my meaning is that the cooked eggs will cause harm to the momen's health,let alone the raw eggs which contain a number of bacteria.The scientists didn't give any detail explaination why eating eggs don't cause any harm to the male, because they also don't the specific reasons. We ezpect them to do more in-depth study of this topics.

eating eggs everyday i think is not good because too much of everything is bad. eating eggs everyday can make you high in cholesterol.

Yes, you are right.Enough is better than too much.Eating too much eggs everyday will cause the cholesterol depositing in the vascular of body.

We know that egg is the source of protein and the egg also have a high content of cholesterol.Therefore in my opinion, if a woman eats lot of eggs she will be prone or more likely to die because most women are not very active in exercising their body unlike men they are very active.

I think a research like this can do nothing but more confuse people without further convincing details. Unless more evidence revealed, I will not change my present habit, two eggs for each morning.

I'm glad I am not eating egg everyday! Well that could be alarming for people who can only afford to eat just an egg each meal because that is all their money can afford. One good size of egg is around PHP5 only in the Philippines and frying it makes enough viand for a poor people. If that report is true then women who eats mostly egg must be trembling by now. At any rate, I suggest exercising everyday to get rid of cholesterol brought about by too much eating of egg. That is the best way for egg eaters to counter the bad effects of egg.

I don't know something like that. I think it's hard to believe it. Eggs are considered as super food. You can get a lot of goodness from it. Since the research stated that way, I think they meant the yolk more than the white egg. I did read the yolk contains fat and cholesterol. So that's probably the cause. But I am no expert, so I can't say much. But doesn't the effect apply to both gender? Does this mean woman can get heart diseases easier than man?

I also heard somewhere a Doctor talking about eggs and saying their health benefits outweigh the other - so who knows? If we listen to everything they say we'll all starve because we won't eat anything! Just eat a healthy moderate diet with all food groups in balance. Next week we'll be told fruit will kills us!
