Egg-cholestrol studies announced NEW HOLLAND, PA. ■ Testa conducted by a UCLA Research Team determined that eating eggs had no ef fect on plasma cholesterol levels in young and middle aged men. It was previously reported that the indigestion of cholesterol results in elevated plasma cholesterol level in two to four weeks. However, most of these studies were either done using systhetic diets or cholesterol-free diets as preliminary to the feeding.

Two groups were used; Group A consisted of 2S men, average age 23.8 years (range2o to 28), and Group B consisted of 27 men, average age 50.9 years (range 39-86). Group A ate two eggs per day for eight weeks whereas Group B ate one egg per day for four weeks then two eegs every other day for four weeks. The eggs were super imposed on the usual diet. For two weeks after the eight week feeding period, all eggs were removed from the diet. Plasma cholesterol determinations were done on two successive weeks before the egg diets were given; weekly for eight weeks during the egg feeding and thereafter on the egg-free diet. The results indicated that there were no significant differences in average cholesterol levels between any two time periods in either group. It was concluded that healthy young men eating two eggs a day and healthy middle-aged men eating one egg a day in addition to their usual cholesterol-containing diet showed no significant changes in cholesterol levels over a period of eight weeks. Members of the Research Team were Drs. Grant G. Slater, James F. Mead, G.A. Dhopeshwarker and Roslyn Alfin-Slater from the School of Public Health, Unr, ersity of California, Los Angeles.
