To review the nutritional profile and emerging bioactive compounds of avian eggs while evaluating evidence regarding dietary cholesterol and cardiovascular health.
Narrative synthesis of experimental, clinical, and epidemiological studies evaluating egg nutrient consumption and circulating lipid outcomes.
Comparative analysis of nutritional profiles and functional components across domestic avian species.
Clinical and epidemiological evidence demonstrates no consistent correlation between egg-derived dietary cholesterol and elevated plasma total-cholesterol levels.
Eggs deliver a highly digestible balance of macronutrients and micronutrients alongside specialized bioactive molecules that exhibit potential disease-preventive properties.
