## Eating eggs five times a week was linked to a 27% lower Alzheimer’s risk in a study of nearly 40,000 adults

Authored by thefirmo.com

The study, published in the Journal of Nutrition, analyzed data from nearly 40,000 American adults aged 65 and older over 15 years.

The Loma Linda research team divided participants according to how frequently they consumed eggs, ranging from never to more than five times per week.

Participants who ate eggs five or more times per week had a 27 percent lower risk of Alzheimer’s compared to those who ate no eggs at all.

Even those who ate eggs only one to three times per month showed a 17 percent reduced risk.

The researchers concluded that any egg intake was associated with a lower Alzheimer’s risk, suggesting a dose-response relationship where more frequent consumption conferred greater protection.

Visible eggs are boiled, scrambled, or fried and eaten on their own, and hidden eggs are used as ingredients in baked goods and packaged products.

People who eat more eggs may differ from those who eat fewer in other ways that influence their Alzheimer’s risk. »

### SCOTUS used faulty racial voter turnout data to shred Voting Rights Act in recent ruling

Authored by democracydocket.com

U.S. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito leaned on an erroneous claim that Black voter turnout now tops white voter turnout, in his Callais v. Louisiana ruling that gutted the Voting Rights Act, reports The Guardian.

He further claimed that Black voters now have higher voter turnout rates than white voters, in his opinion that the Voting Rights Act no longer needs to correct for historic voter suppression and obstruction against minorities.

The U.S. Department of Justice also argued that racial turnout rates have reached parity in its amicus brief for Callais, in support of gutting the Voting Rights Act. »
