There were 276,000 coronary heart disease subjects and 308,000 stroke victims. The study dated in 2015 and 1982.
Principal investigator Dominik Alexander if the US EpidStat Institute said in a report that, “Eggs do have many positive nutritional attributes, including antioxidants, which have been shown to reduce oxidative stress and inflammation.”
“They are also an excellent source of protein, which has been related to lower blood pressure,” Alexander added.
There are six grams of protein that is high in quality that a single egg contains and the egg yolk has antioxidants lutein and zeaxanthin. The vitamins that are found in an egg can fight the major cause of stroke. Vitamins such as vitamin E, D and A.
