摘　　要：To the Editor:According to guidelines from western countries as well as China,dietary patterns with low intake of cholesterol have been widely recommended for maintaining ideal lipid levels.As one of the major sources of both high-quality protein and dietary cholesterol,eggs have always been the focus in terms of diet.Although increased lipid levels induced by high egg intake have been revealed by randomized controlled trials(RCTs),they may not be sufficient to reflect the impacts of habitual egg intake due to high doses of egg intake of more than 7 eggs/week or even 14 eggs/week.Further,RCTs typically have shorter intervention periods of about 3 months,which may not observe a stable association due to homeostasis in cholesterol metabolism of human beings.[1,2]Up to now,only three cohorts assessed the associations of egg intake with lipid levels or dyslipidemia,and the findings were still controversial.One recent cohort study has reported the non-significant association between higher egg intake(≥7 vs.1 eggs/week)and lipid profiles.On the other hand,another cohort from Spain found that compared with<1 egg/week,>4 eggs/week had no significant influence on total cholesterol(TC)and triglyceride(TG),but significantly decreased high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C)levels.[4]However,none of these cohorts were from developing countries,and the association between moderate egg intake and lipid profiles has not been well illustrated.Egg consumption in China,a representative of developing countries,is relatively higher,and it may be possible to better explore the appropriate range of egg intake.
