The truth about eating eggs
吃鸡蛋的真相
If there was such a thing as a perfect food, eggs would be a contender.(竞争力) They’re readily available, easy to cook, 1____(afford) and packed with protein.
But for decades, 2_____(eat) eggs has also been controversial(有争议的) due 3____their high cholesterol (胆固醇)content. One egg yolk (蛋黄 )contains around 185 milligrams of cholesterol, 4____is more than half of the 300mg 5_____(day) amount of cholesterol that the US dietary guidelines recommended until recently.
Researchers haven’t 6_____(definitive) linked consumption of cholesterol to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease(血管疾病). As a result, US dietary guidelines no longer have a cholesterol restriction; nor 7____(do) the UK. Instead, emphasis 8_____(place) on limiting how much saturated fat(饱和脂肪) we consume, which can increase the risk of developing cardiovascular disease.
Research 9_____(publish) earlier this year, though, challenged the recent consensus that eggs pose no harm to our health. Researchers looked at data from 30,000 adults followed for an average of 17 years and found that each additional half an egg per day was significantly linked to a higher risk of heart disease and death.
Despite the study being one of the largest of its kind to address this specific relationship between eggs and heart disease, it was observational, giving no indication of cause and effect.
While researchers are a long way from understanding why eggs affect us differently, the vast 10_____(major) of recent research suggests they pose no risk to our health, and are much more likely to provide health benefits.
Even so, having eggs for breakfast every day probably isn’t the healthiest option, either — at least as it’s recommended we have a varied diet… rather than put all our eggs in one basket.

This fully formed metaverse remains a long way off.
To Silicon Valley dreamers, this immersive(沉浸式的), networked, three-dimensional(三维的) world will eventually succeed the two-dimensional internet that exists today.
