Eating One Egg a Day Could Cut Alzheimer's Risk by 27%

A long-term study of more than 40,000 adults found that regular egg consumption was linked to a lower risk of Alzheimer’s disease in people 65 and older.

The strongest association appeared among those eating at least five eggs per week.

Researchers say eggs may help because they contain nutrients such as choline, lutein, zeaxanthin, and omega-3 fatty acids.

The findings are based on an association, not proof that eggs directly prevent Alzheimer’s.
