𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗲𝗴𝗴𝘀?
Chicken eggs are an affordable source of protein and other essential nutrients. They are easy to prepare and can be added to various recipes.
Based on the DOST-FNRI’s 2019 Philippine Food Composition Table (FCT) and Food Exchange List (FEL) for Meal Planning, one boiled egg contains 𝟴 𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗶𝗻 and 𝟮𝟱𝟯 𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗼𝗹.
However, you may have heard that cholesterol contributes to heart disease, which is the leading cause of death worldwide.
A study led by Tanchoco in 2011 about the effect of egg consumption on Filipino adults' lipid profile showed that for most people, the cholesterol in eggs does not cause a spike in blood cholesterol levels. This is because the body produces most of its cholesterol in the liver, and that production is influenced by saturated and trans fats in the diet. 𝗘𝗴𝗴𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗹𝗼𝘄 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘀𝗲 𝘁𝘆𝗽𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗳𝗮𝘁𝘀, 𝘀𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗱𝗼 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗯𝘂𝘁𝗲 𝗺𝘂𝗰𝗵 𝘁𝗼 𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗼𝗹 𝗹𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝘀.
That said, some individuals, known as "hyper-responders", may experience a rise in blood cholesterol when consuming eggs, while some may be allergic. But for most people, eggs can be enjoyed in moderation without concern.
So, if you are in good health, there is no need to fear eggs. When consumed as part of a moderate, varied, and balanced diet, eggs can be a practical, relatively affordable, and nutritious choice.

Recently concluded: 𝑫𝒓. 𝑨𝒛𝒖𝒄𝒆𝒏𝒂 𝑴𝒊𝒍𝒂𝒏𝒂-𝑫𝒂𝒚𝒂𝒏𝒈𝒉𝒊𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒈, Assistant Secretary and Executive Director IV of the National Nutrition Council served as a panelist and first speaker in two side events at the 78th World Health Assembly.
During the Geneva Health Forum 2025 Nutrition Session entitled "Nutrition: The Road 2030 Building on Success, Facing What’s Next," A/Sec Dayanghirang shared about the country's best practices on food and nutrition, including the (1) proactive support and active participation of local government units that helped prevent the surge of stunting and wasting during the COVID-19 pandemic, (2) strong commitment to multisectoral collaboration, adaptive governance, and evidence-based interventions through the Philippine Plan of Action for Nutrition 2023–2028, (3) recognition of exemplary Local Chief Executives and nutrition advocates through the National Nutrition Awarding Ceremony, among others. Despite these wins, there are still many challenges that threaten the acceleration of progress on nutrition; thus, A/Sec Dayanghirang called upon global partners especially the Scaling Up Nutrition Movement to join in forging stronger alliances, driving bold action, and ensuring every child has the opportunity to grow, thrive, and reach their full potential.
On the other hand, during the side event "Accelerating Action on Micronutrient Deficiencies and Their Consequences, Including Spina Bifida: Delivering on WHA 76.19 through Large-Scale Food Fortification," A/Sec Dayanghirang shared the Philippine government's efforts and critical leadership role in creating strong, sustainable fortification programs that prevent and reduce micronutrient deficiencies. This includes the fortification of staple foods and inclusion of iron-fortified rice in social safety net programs to address iron deficiency anemia, with rice being the staple food in the Philippines. She also shared that the Philippines is taking a major step forward by revising its wheat flour fortification standard in accordance with the World Health Organization guideline to include folic acid and the use of a bioavailable form of iron to prevent neural tube defects and accelerate the reduction of iron-deficiency anemia among vulnerable age groups.
