There is little evidence whether eggs affect inflammation. Therefore, this review article has been conducted.
Does egg consumption increase risk of inflammation?
Study design:
This review article included 8 RCTs assessed high sensitivity c-reactive protein (hs-CRP), 4 RCTs assessed interleukin-6 (IL-6) and 5 RCTs assessed tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α).
Results and conclusions:
The investigators found egg consumption did not affect hs-CRP [WMD = 0.24 mg/L, 95% CI = -0.43 to 0.90, I2 = 53.8%, p = 0.48], IL-6 [WMD = 0.20 pg/mL, 95% CI = -0.71 to 1.11, I2 = 69.3%, p = 0.50] and TNF-α [WMD = -0.38 pg/mL, 95% CI = -0.87 to 0.10, I2 = 0.00%, p = 0.12] relative to controls.
The investigators concluded that egg consumption has no effect on serum biomarkers of inflammation in adults.
