Story summary
  • An American Egg Board grant funded the analysis that linked two-to-four weekly eggs to a 20% lower Alzheimer’s risk.
  • The Adventist Health Study-2 tracked about 40,000 adults for 15.3 years and found five weekly eggs cut Alzheimer’s risk by 27% versus none.
  • Dietitian Michelle Routhenstein warned Adventist lifestyle may limit relevance, while author Jisoo Oh said eggs are a component of a balanced diet, not a sole brain-health cure.
