While eggs are safe for most, a few people should be mindful:
1. Cholesterol Sensitivity
- About 15–25% of people are “hyper-responders” — their cholesterol levels rise more than average when eating dietary cholesterol.
- If you have a history of high cholesterol or heart disease, talk to your doctor — you may want to moderate intake.
2. Type 2 Diabetes:
- Some studies suggest that very high egg consumption (3+ per day) may increase heart risk in people with diabetes.
- However, moderate intake (1–2 per day) appears safe — especially when part of a healthy diet.
3. Egg Allergies:
- One of the most common food allergies in children (though many outgrow it).
- Symptoms include hives, swelling, vomiting, or anaphylaxis.
- If allergic, avoid eggs completely.
4. Raw or Undercooked Eggs:
- Risk of Salmonella — especially in immunocompromised individuals, pregnant women, or the elderly.
- Always cook eggs thoroughly unless using pasteurized eggs.
