Egg and saturated fat containing breakfasts have no acute effect on acute glycemic control in healthy adults: a randomized partial crossover trial

C. S. Dhanasekara, J. A. Dawson, et al.

In a groundbreaking randomized partial crossover clinical trial, researchers including Chathurika S. Dhanasekara and John A. Dawson explored the acute effects of egg consumption on glucose disposal in healthy adults. Their findings revealed no significant differences in glucose or insulin responses among different egg-based breakfasts, suggesting a more nuanced understanding of dietary fats and health.

Abstract

This randomized partial crossover clinical trial investigated the acute effects of egg consumption, with or without saturated fat, on glucose disposal in healthy adults. 48 participants (consuming ≥ 1 egg/week) received two of four isocaloric, macronutrient-matched breakfasts: eggs (EB); saturated fat (SB); eggs and saturated fat (ES); and a control cereal-based breakfast (CB). No significant differences in glucose or insulin AUC were found between EB, SB, ES, and CB. Acutely, egg breakfasts with or without saturated fat did not adversely affect glucose disposal in healthy adults, suggesting the need for long-term studies.
