Monday, April 20th, 2009
In a study of almost 57,000 American adults, the researchers found out that those who have an intake of egg each day in a week were most likely 58 to 77 per cent to acquire diabetes mellitus type 2.
Diabetes mellitus type 2, or formerly known as non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, or adult-onset diabetes, is a disorder in body metabolism, which is described as an abnormally high blood glucose level which is associated with insulin resistance and insulin deficiency.
As published in the Diabetes Care journal, the findings of the study do not suggest to remove egg intake in your diet list and that eggs are directly associated in the occurrence of diabetes mellitus type 2. It is a wise move, therefore, to limit intake of eggs.
Based on the facts at hand by the researchers, the recommendation in the study states that a person must consume eggs moderately, and will not have to exceed six eggs a week.
