When new research is presented, it’s important to look beyond the headlines. Read the study carefully, see what the researchers are actually comparing, and ask questions like who funded the research. Eggs contain more than 850 proteins and are one of the richest dietary sources of choline. Just two eggs provide about 300 mg of choline. Choline is an essential building block for acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that supports communication between neurons. Many Alzheimer’s medications work by slowing the breakdown of acetylcholine. Eggs also contain lutein, another important nutrient that supports brain health and cognitive health. Eggs are true brain food, providing high-quality protein, choline, lutein, B vitamins, folate, iodine, selenium, trace minerals, and omega-3 fatty acids. These nutrients support brain health and may play a role in dementia prevention.

Regarding alzheimers...back in the 80's we were brainwashed about cholesterol, prescribed statins AND informed not to eat eggs...as well as other foods. It was kind of like the trifecta of doom. After being on statins well over 30 years, I threw them out and embraced time restricted eating 18/6 low carb foods which includes two eggs a day. After being exploited so shamefully by big pharma and the health system for so long, I'm now in charge of my health. I don't have a doctor (I'm not sick), I don't take any medications and my mind has never been clearer at 73.
