Doctors warn the following people should be careful when eating eggs

Many health bodies recommend that eating up to seven eggs a week is considered “safe” for most people. However, one doctor has warned some people not to eat too many eggs, according to the Express .

Speaking on Doctor Oz - an American health and preventive medicine television program, Dr. Michael Rozien - Head of the health care department at the Cleveland Clinic - explained the reason some people should limit their egg intake is because egg yolks contain large amounts of choline.

Eating seven eggs a week is considered "safe" for most people.

Although choline is essential for brain health and metabolism, excess choline can cause problems for people at high risk of heart disease.

Two researchers from the Cleveland Clinic (USA), Dr. Stan Hazen and Dr. Tang Wilson, discovered that choline can interact with bacteria in the intestines to create a compound called TMA, which makes blood more prone to clotting.

Therefore, choline may increase the risk of dangerous blood clots and related problems.

Who should limit egg intake?

People in good health do not need to worry about choline levels because their blood has a normal density. And healthy people can eat 7 eggs per week.

People at risk of heart problems, stroke or blood clots should limit their egg intake to just one egg per week.

But for people with high blood sugar and cholesterol levels, the risk of platelets clotting and causing blockages is higher.

Dr Rozien advises people at risk of heart problems, stroke or blood clots to limit their egg intake to just one egg per week, according to Express .

One large egg contains about 140 mg of choline. According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), men should consume about 550 mg of choline per day, while women should consume 425 mg.
