Single food focus dietary guidance: lessons learned from an economic analysis of egg consumption. Schmier JK, Barraj LM, Tran NL. Cost Eff Resour Alloc. 2009 Apr 14;7:7. PMID: 19366457 Methods A risk apportionment model estimated the increased risk for coronary heart disease (CHD) attributable to egg cholesterol content, the decreased risk for other conditions (age-related macular degeneration (AMD), cataract, neural tube defects, and sarcopenia) associated with egg consumption, and a literature search identified the cost of illness of each condition. The base 795 case scenario calculated the costs or savings of each condition attributable to egg cholesterol or nutrient content. Results Given the costs associated with CHD and the benefits associated with the other conditions, the most likely scenario associated with eating an egg a day is savings of $2.82 billion annually with uncertainty ranging from a net cost of $756 million to net savings up to $8.50 billion. Conclusion This study evaluating the economic impact of egg consumption suggests that public health campaigns promoting limiting egg consumption as a means to reduce CHD risk would not be cost-effective from a societal perspective when other benefits are considered. Public health intervention that focuses on a single dietary constituent, and foods that are high in that constituent, may lead to unintended consequences of removing other beneficial constituents and the net effect may not be in its totality a desirable public health outcome. As newer data become available, the model should be updated.

Bacteria generally found on different parts of our body such as face, inside the mouth and also in the digestive tract. Urinary tract is the most common place to get the bacteria and hence bacterial infection of the urinary tract is more common and is known as UTI.

What Is Appendicitis? How to diagnose Appendicitis? Where is Appendix pain located In this article, we hope you can find all of your answers related to Appendicitis. We covered everything about Appendicitis. We discussed types, causes, symptoms, tests, and treatment of Appendicitis.

Appendicitis is an inflammation of the appendix, which is a small tube of intestinal tissue that projects from the large intestine. While the appendix does not seem to have a particular function, one theory suggests that it acts as a storehouse of good bacteria and boosts immunity after diarrheal illness. However, some experts believe the appendix is just a purposeless remnant from our evolutionary past. One thing we're sure of is that we can live without it, without any apparent consequences.
