DO EGGS INCREASE CANCER RISK?

                                                          


For ages, we had known about the link between cholesterol increased levels as it belongs to disease of the heart. The higher the level of cholesterol, the higher the risk for heart disease

However, there is a debate relating to dietary cholesterol feeding. Altogether, a community of the medical accepts the dietary cholesterol should be as little as possible. 

Almost all foods that contain dietary cholesterol are also more in saturated fats, such as high-fat dairy products and fatty meats. In addition, strong evidence from prospective cohort studies (individuals  following for a long period of time and monitoring development of disease) and randomized controlled trials show eating patterns lower in dietary cholesterol associated with a reduction in disease of heart risk. Don’t have as strong of evidence in cancer as opposed to heart disease. However, the evidence continues to go up.

This study, which looked at 19,700 group people, found dietary cholesterol increased the risk of cancers of the colon, stomach, rectum, lung, pancreatic, kidney, breast, bladder, and Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. It has been found that “a large amount of cholesterol is required for cancerous cells to support their growth rapidly” As mentioned firstly, foods that contain high amounts of cholesterol mostly contain high amounts of saturated  fat, but also protein and choline all of which are believed to play a role in the development and growth of cells of cancer. As always, the goal of Wholesome is to present research in an easy-to-understand manner that allows you to make good decisions for your family and for you. 

Focusing on eggs limiting within your diet and follow the IOM recommendation to limit the consumption of dietary cholesterol as little as possible. Moreover, research exhibit the relationship between consumption of egg and risk of cancer is a dose-response relationship, especially in the cancers of GI . This means the more eggs intake, the higher the risk of cancer. It doesn’t mean one needs to stop the eggs from the diet completely. Simply focus on regulating and reducing your total risk of development of cancer or occurring again if complete elimination is discouraging to you.
