Eggs as Part of a Healthy Breakfast: Lack of Association With Heart Disease Risk

Contrary to popular belief, previous studies have demonstrated beneficial effects of whole
egg consumption in modifying biomarkers indicative of a greater risk of coronary heart
disease (CHD), chronic inflammation, and insulin resistance. The following study is designed
to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of consuming an egg-based breakfast compared to an
oatmeal-based breakfast on lipid biomarkers, oxidative stress, inflammation, insulin
sensitivity, and satiety in young, healthy men and women. The investigators hypothesize that
the consumption of 2 eggs per day will not negatively impact plasma lipids in a young,
healthy population.


Inclusion Criteria:

- BMI 18.5-30, willing to consume eggs and oatmeal daily, proficient in English, and
with a healthy lipid profile.

Exclusion Criteria:

- Currently have liver disease, renal disease, diabetes, cancer, history of stroke or
heart disease

- Currently taking glucose lowering drugs or supplements

- Plasma triglycerides >500 mg/dL, glucose >126, total cholesterol >240

- Pregnant, lactating, or have endocrine or metabolic disorders

- BMI ≥ 30

- Blood pressure > 140/90 (average of 3 readings)

- Allergies to eggs
