Eggs take top billing in new U.S. Dietary Guidelines
Friday, 9 January, 2026
Protein took the main stage in the 2025–2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans, and we dig into why eggs rose to the top. With Emily Metz, President and CEO of the American Egg Board, we explore the real-food case for eggs: complete protein, nutrient density, affordability, and a versatility that works for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and everything between. We also clear the air on cholesterol with current science and discuss how consumer understanding has shifted from fear to trust.The conversation turns to new brain health research, including studies indicating a relationship between eating two eggs a day and a lower risk of Alzheimer’s dementia. We talk about nutrients like choline and lutein, why this matters as populations age, and how simple, daily habits can support cognitive health. If you’re focused on satiety or navigating GLP1 medications, eggs offer a compact calorie-to-protein ratio that makes sticking to a higher-protein pattern easier and more satisfying.From the industry side, we shares why the guidelines validate years of research support from egg farmers. We also look ahead to IPPE highlights, consumer education around all-day egg eating, and the role of U.S. egg products in promising export markets.Enjoy the episode, share it with a friend who still thinks eggs are only for breakfast, and don’t forget to subscribe, rate, and leave a review to help more listeners find the show.
