Eggs lower cancer risk (AP/C Harapak)

 The choline in eggs may help lower the risk of cancer. And when researchers at Boston University looked did lab tests on eating eggs during pregnancy, they found that egg consumption may lower the risk in the children of egg eaters.

 

"Our study provides additional support for the notion that choline is an important nutrient that has to be considered when dietary guidelines are developed," says Krzysztof Blusztajn, Ph.D., Professor of Pathology at Boston University and the study's senior researcher. "We hope it will be possible to develop nutritional guidelines for pregnant women that ensure the good health of their offspring well into old age."
