When new research is presented, it’s important to look beyond the headlines. Read the study carefully, see what the researchers are actually comparing, and ask questions like who funded the research.

Eggs contain more than 850 proteins and are one of the richest dietary sources of choline. Just two eggs provide about 300 mg of choline.

Choline is an essential building block for acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that supports communication between neurons. Many Alzheimer’s medications work by slowing the breakdown of acetylcholine. Eggs also contain lutein, another important nutrient that supports brain health and cognitive health.

Eggs are true brain food, providing high-quality protein, choline, lutein, B vitamins, folate, iodine, selenium, trace minerals, and omega-3 fatty acids. These nutrients support brain health and may play a role in dementia prevention.
