ABSTRACT Background: It is widely agreed that egg consumption only modestly influences serum lipid concentrations. However, there is no meta-analysis summarizing existing randomized controlled trials. Objective: The purpose of this study was to conduct a meta-analysis of published randomized controlled trials to explore the quantitative effect of egg consumption on serum lipid concentrations. Design: Online databases including MEDLINE, Proquest and Google Scholar were systematically searched…

The responses of different dosages of egg consumption on blood lipid profile: An updated systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials.
TLDR
In conclusion, intake of more than one egg daily in less than 12 weeks may increase some blood lipids without any changes in the ratio of LDL-C/HDL-C.
Association between Egg Consumption and Cholesterol Concentration: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials
TLDR
This synthesis, the largest meta-analysis on this topic, shows the impact of egg consumption on lipid profiles among healthy subjects and Notably, longer time with MEC may lead to higher LDL-c/HDL-c ratio and LDL- c.
Effect of coffee consumption on dyslipidemia: A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.
The efficacy of ginseng supplementation on plasma lipid concentration in adults: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
The effect of egg consumption on cardiometabolic health outcomes: an umbrella review
TLDR
Recent evidence-based reviews conclude that increased egg consumption is not associated with CVD risk in the general population, and more research is needed on the positive associations between egg consumption and heart failure and T2DM risk, as well as CVDrisk in diabetics, before firm conclusions can be made.
Food groups and intermediate disease markers: a systematic review and network meta-analysis of randomized trials
TLDR
Evidence is provided that increased intake of nuts, legumes, and whole grains is more effective at improving metabolic health than other food groups, and high-quality randomized trials focusing on well-established intermediate-disease markers could play an important role.
Egg consumption and human health: an umbrella review of observational studies
TLDR
An umbrella review showed a substantial no association between egg consumption and a number of health outcomes, including cancer, cardiovascular and metabolic disorders, and additional studies exploring confounding factors are needed to ascertain the potential detrimental effects.
Association between daily egg intake and lipid profiles in adults from the Henan rural cohort study.
Egg consumption and cardiovascular risk: a dose–response meta-analysis of prospective cohort studies
TLDR
There is no conclusive evidence on the role of egg in CVD risk, despite the fact that higher quality studies are warranted to obtain stronger evidence for a possible protection of CVD associated with moderate weekly egg consumption compared to no intake; equally, future studies may strengthen the evidence for increased heart failure risk associated with high regular egg consumption.

Egg consumption and risk of type 2 diabetes: a meta-analysis of prospective studies.
TLDR
A meta-analysis of published prospective cohort studies shows no relation between infrequent egg consumption and DM risk but suggests a modest elevated risk of DM with ≥3 eggs/wk that is restricted to US studies.
Dietary cholesterol from eggs increases the ratio of total cholesterol to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol in humans: a meta-analysis.
TLDR
Dietary cholesterol raises the ratio of total to HDL cholesterol and, therefore, adversely affects the cholesterol profile, and the advice to limit cholesterol intake by reducing consumption of eggs and other cholesterol-rich foods may still be valid.
Daily egg consumption in hyperlipidemic adults - Effects on endothelial function and cardiovascular risk
TLDR
Egg consumption was found to be non-detrimental to endothelial function and serum lipids in hyperlipidemic adults, while egg substitute consumption was beneficial.
The effect of ingestion of egg on serum lipid profile in healthy young free-living subjects.
TLDR
The study suggests that in young healthy Indian subjects on a vegetarian diet, consuming one egg per day raises serum cholesterol levels at 4 wk but in the majority baseline values are restored by 8 wk, however, some hyper-responders continue to have elevated serum cholesterol even at8 wk.
The effect of ingestion of egg on the serum lipid profile of healthy young Indians.
TLDR
Knowing the response of an individual is important before making the egg a regular item of the diet, since up to one-third of the population may be hyperresponders.
Dietary cholesterol and egg yolks: not for patients at risk of vascular disease.
Plasma lipid and lipoprotein responses to dietary fat and cholesterol: a meta-analysis.
TLDR
Predictions indicated that compliance with current dietary recommendations will reduce plasma total and low-density-lipoprotein-cholesterol concentrations by approximately 5% compared with amounts associated with the average American diet.
Regular egg consumption does not increase the risk of stroke and cardiovascular diseases.
TLDR
Consumption of greater than 6 eggs per week (average of 1 egg or greater per day) does not increase the risk of stroke and ischemic stroke, and the increased risk of coronary artery disease associated with higher egg consumption among diabetics warrants further investigations.
Plasma LDL and HDL characteristics and carotenoid content are positively influenced by egg consumption in an elderly population1
TLDR
The findings suggest that the increases in LDL-C and HDL-C due to increased egg consumption in hyper-responders are not related to an increased number of LDL or HDL particles but, to an increase in the less atherogenic lipoprotein subfractions.
A double-blind, randomized, controlled trial of the effects of two eggs per day in moderately hypercholesterolemic and combined hyperlipidemic subjects taught the NCEP step I diet.
TLDR
CHL subjects ingesting a Step I Diet in a free-living setting are sensitive to egg feeding and should benefit from dietary cholesterol restriction, according to NCEP guidelines.
