AHA Guidelines in 1968:Limit Dietary Cholesterol “Dietary cholesterol – the cholesterol found in foods like eggs and shrimp – be limited to no more than 300 mg per day, and recommended that individuals eat no more than 3 egg yolks per week.” - AHA Guidelines, 1968 Source: Kritchevsky. History of recommendations to the public about dietary fat. J Nutr. 1998; 128:449S-452S

Dietary Patterns Changed Significantly Over the Past 30 years • Grains • Fruit juices • Sodas • Snack foods • Red meat • Dairy • Eggs Sources: Briefel RR, Johnson CL.

What Does the Newer Science Tell Us About Cholesterol, Eggs & CVD? HP Follow-up Study Nurses’ Health Study • Men: 37,851 • Followed for 8 years • Cases of CHD: 866 • Women: 80,082 • Followed for 14 years • Cases of CHD: 939 What is the relationship between egg consumption per week and CVD risk?

Dietary Cholesterol and CVD Risk Newer and more accurate trials suggest: • Serum cholesterol levels modestly increase with increased dietary cholesterol • In the case of egg consumption, both serum HDL- and LDL-cholesterol tend to increase, so the LDL/HDL ratio (a marker of CVD risk) does not change significantly • The degree to which dietary cholesterol influences serum cholesterol varies person to person “In summary, the earlier purported adverse relationship between dietary cholesterol and heart disease risk was likely largely over-exaggerated.” Source: PJ Jones.

Links Between Dietary Factors and CHD In 2009, a review of the scientific evidence concluded that there are different levels of support for certain dietary factors and heart disease risk: • Strong evidencesupports a protective effect of vegetables, nuts, and the Mediterranean diet and a harmful effect of trans fats • Moderate evidencesuggests a protective effect of fish, marine-3 fatty acids, folate, whole grains, dietary sources of vitamins E and C, beta carotene, alcohol, fruit ,and fiber • Insufficient evidenceof association is present for intakes of supplementary vitamin E and C, saturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids, total fat, linolenic acid, meat, eggs and milk Source: Mente et. al.

Saturated Fat,Carbohydrate and CVD • “Dietary efforts to improve the increasing burden of CVD risk…. should primarily emphasize the limitation of refined carbohydrate intakes and the reduction in excess adiposity” Source: Siri-Tarino P, et al. Saturated fat, carbohydrate, and cardiovascular disease. Am J ClinNutr2010; 91:502–9

New Evidence Suggests an Alternative Dietary Pattern for Better Health • High refined carbohydrates stimulate insulin, which promotes inflammation, obesity, and CVD. • Replacing refined carbohydrates with protein promotes a more favorable metabolic response.
