Researchers investigated the impacts of different egg-based diets on healthy young individuals' immune, hematologic, and metabolic clinical profiles.
By Hugo Francisco de SouzaAug 30 2023Reviewed by Sophia Coveney In a recent study published in the journal Nutrients, researchers investigated the impacts of different egg-based diets on healthy young individuals' immune, hematologic, and metabolic clinical profiles.
These parts are significantly different in their nutritional composition – while they are both rich in biologically available protein and B vitamins, egg yolks additionally provide choline-containing sphingo- and glycerophospholipids, fatty acids, cholesterol, and additional vitamins . This discordance observed between the results of epidemiologic and intervention studies makes a holistic investigation of the pros and cons of egg consumption necessary to enable health practitioners to make informed decisions when building dietary plans for their patients.
Individuals with preexisting chronic health conditions, egg allergies, and those currently undergoing lipid-lowering treatments were excluded from the study. The resultant sample group comprised 21 women and five men. Of the 21 women, 11 were using COCs. BMI and body composition were also recorded at the same frequency for body composition analysis. Fasted blood samples were collected for serum analysis and complete blood cell counts. Serum analysis was used to determine clinical metabolic profiles, including serum lipid and glucose, total cholesterol, and triglycerides.
Since egg yolk is a rich source of choline, participants on whole egg diets showed significantly higher dietary choline than those on other nutritional regimes.

Researchers study barriers and facilitators to accessing health care in rural MissouriRural Missourians often face more disparities in health outcomes than their urban and suburban counterparts, in part from challenges accessing health care—a problem amplified in recent years by a growing physician shortage. But a new study at the University of Missouri found that health and health care organizations are increasingly offering basic social services, such as transportation, housing, food, and mental health support, as they recognize these services contribute to a person's overall health.

Study finds e-cigarette manufacturers use targeted marketing to lure in young adultsResearch led by Minji Kim, assistant professor of health promotion, education, and behavior, has found that marketing strategies used by e-cigarette manufacturers increase the likelihood of uptake among otherwise low-risk young adults. These widespread but under-researched strategies use psychographic targeting to appeal to new users based on lifestyles, attitudes and values. Kim published the results in Nicotine and Tobacco Research.

Wildfire smoke is an increasing threat to Canadians' health, say researchersAir quality in Canada has improved over the past several decades, and Canada's air is among the cleanest in the world. But that progress is threatened by smoke from wildfires, which are becoming more frequent and more intense with climate change.

Researchers find key for transforming cancer cells to muscle in rhabdomyosarcomaFor six years, Professor Christopher Vakoc's lab at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory has been on a mission to transform sarcoma cells into regularly functioning tissue cells. Sarcomas are cancers that form in connective tissues such as muscle. Treatment often involves chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation—procedures that are especially tough on kids. If doctors could transform cancer cells into healthy cells, it would offer patients a whole new treatment option—one that could spare them and their families a great deal of pain and suffering.
