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.

Eating more eggs might shorten men's lives but extend women's lives, according to one study. The same amount of egg consumption has opposite effects on death rates depending on whether you're male or female.

Eating just one extra egg every day might make heart disease about 4% more likely, according to a big review of almost 50 studies with millions of people.

Eating up to one egg per day is perfectly fine for most healthy adults and fits into a balanced diet, according to official US nutrition guidelines.

Studies show that eating eggs is linked to higher death rates, but when researchers control for the cholesterol in those eggs, the connection gets much weaker. This hints that it might be the cholesterol—not the eggs themselves—that's actually harmful.

Eating up to six eggs a week doesn’t raise your risk of heart disease or stroke, even if you have high blood pressure or other health issues.
