Gut Decisions: Effect of eggs on microbiome and cognition

This project aims to examine the effects of egg intake (2 whole eggs per day for 6 weeks) on the human gut microbiome, and explore clinical outcomes (i.e., cognition, gut sensations) and potential mediating factors (i.e., inflammation regulation) in younger and older adults via a randomised controlled trial. The findings of this novel and innovative research project may be of interest to stakeholders as it hypothesises to debunk the myth of egg consumption increasing malodorous wind.
