Are eggs bad for you, do they cause prostate cancer?

The short answer is no. Eggs do not pose any significant health risk and have been shown in many studies to be a nutrient-dense food that can actually have beneficial effects when consumed in moderation.

Regarding prostate cancer specifically, numerous studies have found no association between egg consumption and risk for developing the disease. In fact, one study published in the Journal of Nutrition Health & Aging looked at over 200,000 men from various backgrounds and concluded that there was no increased risk of prostate cancer associated with eating eggs or other animal sources of protein. This result held even after adjusting for other factors such as age, lifestyle habits etc.

Overall eggs are a healthy food choice and can be enjoyed as part of a balanced diet without fear of increasing one’s chances for developing prostate cancer. Eating three to five whole eggs per week is considered safe by many medical authorities so go ahead and enjoy them!
