The Claim
In US adults, daily egg consumption of up to one egg is not significantly associated with all-cause mortality (Hazard Ratio 1.04 per 0.5 egg/day, 95% Confidence Interval 0.96-1.13) or heart disease mortality (Hazard Ratio 0.96, 95% Confidence Interval 0.80-1.14), based on prospective cohort data from 37,121 participants followed for a median duration of 7.8 years.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
Eating up to one egg each day doesn't seem to make adults more likely to die early or die from heart disease, according to a big study that tracked over 37,000 people for almost 8 years.

In US adults, consuming up to one egg per day is not significantly associated with all-cause mortality (HR 1.04 per 0.5 egg/day, 95% CI 0.96-1.13) or heart disease mortality (HR 0.96, 95% CI 0.80-1.14), based on data from 37,121 participants followed for a median of 7.8 years
What the research says
1 studyThis study looked at egg eating habits in over 37,000 American adults and found that eating up to one egg per day doesn't significantly increase death rates from any cause or heart disease. The exact numbers in the claim match what the researchers found.
