1 Egg Nutrition Center Cardiovascular Disease Presentation

2 AHA Guidelines in 1968: Limit Dietary Cholesterol “Dietary cholesterol – the cholesterol found in foods like eggs and shrimp – be limited to no more than 300 mg per day, and recommended that individuals eat no more than 3 egg yolks per week.” - AHA Guidelines, 1968 Source: Kritchevsky.

3 Eggs Become Icon for Cholesterol and Heart Disease

7 Origins of the Dietary Cholesterol Misconception Animal Studies Epidemiological Surveys Clinical Investigation

8 What Does the Newer Science Tell Us About Cholesterol, Eggs & CVD? Men: 37,851 Followed for 8 years Cases of CHD: 866 Women: 80,082 Followed for 14 years Cases of CHD: 939 What is the relationship between egg consumption per week and CVD risk? Source: Hu et al. A prospective study of egg consumption and risk of cardiovascular disease in men and women JAMA. 1999; 281:1387-1394. HP Follow-up StudyNurses’ Health Study

9 Results: Up to 1 Egg/day Does not Increase CVD Risk Source: Hu et al. A prospective study of egg consumption and risk of cardiovascular disease in men and women JAMA 1999; 281:1387-1394.

10 Dietary Cholesterol and CVD Risk Newer and more accurate trials suggest: Serum cholesterol levels modestly increase with increased dietary cholesterol In the case of egg consumption, both serum HDL- and LDL- cholesterol tend to increase, so the LDL/HDL ratio (a marker of CVD risk) does not change significantly The degree to which dietary cholesterol influences serum cholesterol varies person to person “In summary, the earlier purported adverse relationship between dietary cholesterol and heart disease risk was likely largely over-exaggerated.” Source: PJ Jones.

11 Links Between Dietary Factors and CHD In 2009, a review of the scientific evidence concluded that there are different levels of support for certain dietary factors and heart disease risk: Strong evidence supports a protective effect of vegetables, nuts, and the Mediterranean diet and a harmful effect of trans fats Moderate evidence suggests a protective effect of fish, marine-3 fatty acids, folate, whole grains, dietary sources of vitamins E and C, beta carotene, alcohol, fruit,and fiber Insufficient evidence of association is present for intakes of supplementary vitamin E and C, saturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids, total fat, linolenic acid, meat, eggs and milk Source: Mente et. al.

12 Saturated Fat, Carbohydrate and CVD “Dietary efforts to improve the increasing burden of CVD risk…. should primarily emphasize the limitation of refined carbohydrate intakes and the reduction in excess adiposity” Source: Siri-Tarino P, et al. Saturated fat, carbohydrate, and cardiovascular disease. Am J Clin Nutr 2010; 91:502–9

13 2002: A Change of Heart There no longer is a specific recommendation on the number of egg yolks a person may consume per week -American Heart Association, 2002

14 Dietary Guidelines for Saturated Fat and Dietary Cholesterol YearCountryDietary fat guidelinesDietary Cholesterol Guidelines 2009CanadaLimit saturated fat < 10% No recommendation for dietary cholesterol 2007Europa Limit saturated fat < 10% total energy No recommendation for dietary cholesterol 2010India Limit saturated fat and total fat No recommendation for dietary cholesterol 2008KoreaTotal fat < 20% No recommendation for dietary cholesterol 2003New Zealand Limit saturated fat < 12% total energy No recommendation for dietary cholesterol. 2006 United states (AHA Scientific Committee) Limit saturated fat < 7%< 300mg/d 2009 United states (AHA Special Report) Limit saturated fat and trans fat No mention of dietary cholesterol 2010 United States (AHA Pediatric & Adult Nutrition Guidelines) Limit amount of saturated fat No mention of dietary cholesterol Source: Adapted Fernandez & Calle: Atherosclerosis Reviews 2010; 4:259-269

15 Death of an Icon 19841999 2003 Eggs are no longer the icon for cholesterol

16 New Evidence Suggests an Alternative Dietary Pattern for Better Health High refined carbohydrates stimulate insulin, which promotes inflammation, obesity, and CVD. Replacing refined carbohydrates with protein promotes a more favorable metabolic response.
