Eggs May Help Shield Against Alzheimer’s, Large 15-Year Study Finds

A long-term observational study of 39,498 older adults tracked for about 15 years found that higher egg consumption is linked to a lower risk of developing Alzheimer's disease, with five or more eggs per week associated with a 27% reduction vs rarely eating eggs. Intermediate intake also correlated with risk reductions, while avoiding eggs correlated with higher risk; however, causation cannot be established and overall dietary quality and lifestyle factors may drive the association.

Eggs as a Cardio Ally: A Doctor's High-Protein Breakfast Playbook

A cardiologist at South Heart Clinic describes eggs as an “amazing protein” and shares his personal breakfast approach: four to five eggs with onions, jalapeños, tomatoes, and avocado, paired with vegetables and avoiding carb-heavy sides like bread or potatoes so he stays full on protein. He notes that dietary cholesterol from eggs is less of a heart-risk concern than previously thought, citing evolving guidance and the American Heart Association’s stance that eggs can fit into a heart-healthy pattern when eaten in moderation and alongside produce, whole grains and lean proteins. Eggs are nutrient-dense, providing high-quality protein and micronutrients (A, D, B12, iodine, selenium, choline, lutein/zeaxanthin) and even omega-3s in yolks; the overall message is to enjoy eggs as part of a balanced diet while prioritizing vegetables and whole foods.

UK health chiefs warn vulnerable groups to skip runny eggs as salmonella outbreak spreads

Amid a national salmonella outbreak linked to imported eggs, the FSA warns vulnerable groups—including under-fives, pregnant women, and those over 65 or with health conditions—not to eat runny or undercooked eggs or egg-containing dishes in eateries; well-cooked eggs are safe and British eggs are not linked to this outbreak, which has caused over 200 cases and one death.

Ramona Salmonella Outbreak Expands, Traced to Local Raw-Egg Supply

A San Diego County salmonella outbreak tied to raw eggs has grown to 21 cases with 7 hospitalizations, linked to local egg supplier Happy Hens and mayonnaise made with raw eggs at Ramona Family Naturals Market. The market stopped using raw eggs, and health officials are alerting retailers about egg handling, storage, grading, and labeling. The outbreak is not connected to the Midwest shell-egg outbreak. Symptoms include nausea, vomiting and diarrhea, with higher risk for children under 5, adults over 65, and the immunocompromised; guidance emphasizes discarding suspicious eggs, cooking eggs thoroughly, and washing hands and surfaces. People with symptoms should contact their healthcare provider and report illnesses to the county health department.

Eggs Linked to Slower Cognitive Decline in Women, New Study Finds

A study published in Nutrients analyzed 890 adults over 55 from the Rancho Bernardo cohort and found women who ate eggs more than five times a week showed less decline in fluency and executive function over time, suggesting egg-borne nutrients like choline, vitamin B12, lutein and high-quality protein may support brain health. While the association is not proof of causation, experts note eggs are a brain-friendly, nutrient-dense option and can fit into a weekly diet (up to about seven eggs).

Eggs and Liver Health: A Hepatologist Explains the Nuanced View

A hepatologist notes that eggs sit in a gray area for liver health: they provide satiating protein and choline that can support the liver, but their cholesterol content means effects vary with overall diet and metabolic health. Studies on egg intake and MASLD/NAFLD conflict—some show higher risk with limited eggs, others show no association and suggest choline may be protective. For healthy individuals, 1–2 eggs daily can fit in a balanced diet, but those with high cholesterol may want to eat them less often. Emphasize liver-friendly breakfasts with whole foods (Greek yogurt or plant proteins, fiber-rich toast with avocado) and beverages like coffee/tea, while avoiding sugar-heavy pastries and fruit juice and limiting processed meats.

Trump's Grocery Price Claim Faces Reality Check: Eggs Are Bucking the Trend
