Eating an egg a day increases the risk of premature death for middle-aged men, warn researchers.
They found that consumption of seven or more eggs a week pushed up the chances of dying from any cause by 23 per cent, compared with those who ate fewer.

And eating any eggs at all was linked with an earlier risk of dying in men with diabetes.

The latest research could re-open the debate about how many eggs are safe to eat - an issue which most nutritionists thought had been laid to rest in the last ten years.

Conflicting findings about the benefits and harm of eating eggs centre on their relatively high cholesterol content, at around 220 milligrams per yolk, which may contribute to blood cholesterol levels and heart disease risk.
