Summary: Randomized crossover trial in patients with controlled type 2 diabetes: 1 whole egg/day at breakfast vs. an oatmeal-based breakfast, each for 5 weeks with washout, matched for calories. Egg breakfast reduced the inflammatory marker TNF-alpha relative to oatmeal; plasma glucose, lipids, lipoprotein size/subfractions, and CRP were unchanged between conditions. Relevance_note: A modest-dose (1 egg/day), diabetic-population RCT showing a favorable inflammatory signal with no adverse glycemic/lipid signal — a second independent PRO-egg/null data point (different country/research group from the Australian DIABEGG/Pearce cluster).
