Consumption of one egg every day seems to associate with a blood metabolite profile that is related to a lower risk of type 2 diabetes, a new study conducted in the University of Eastern Finland shows. The findings were published in Molecular Nutrition and Food Research.

Over the past few decades China has undergone a substantial nutritional transition that's seen many people move away from a traditional diet comprising grains and vegetables, to a more processed diet that includes greater amounts of meat, snacks and energy-dense food.
"At the same time, egg consumption has also been steadily increasing; from 1991 to 2009, the number of people eating eggs in China nearly doubled*.Odd that they single out eggs.
I'm not a proper doctor, but I would have thought that snacks might be a more obvious place to start looking for causation.

I have seen it in Taiwan as I have grown up. People are getting heavier and heavier, and it certainly is I am sure from diet - more fast food, etc.

For me, the best reason to stay healthy is to improve my chances of actually enjoying my old age, not necessarily prolonging it.
