This was one of the papers referenced in @xep@fedia.io 's cholesterol paper from a few days ago. Thought it was interesting for its own post.
Notes:
That really complicates analysis, if someone is using hormonal birth control that will change the hormones, but also if they start it for the study then it's skewing the results.
Short intervention study, where the Egg population was still consuming carbohydrates saw a very modest improvement in insulin sensitivity. I speculate this is because of the reduction of carbohydrates for a single meal.
This is a curious result, and speaks to the point Xep made about eating and time of day, I'm still very curious if this holds in a fully ketogenic diet.
I think the variability of thus study compared to other egg studies indicates that the eggs are not the main variable of interest, its the carbohydrates that are accounting for the fluctuating signal across these studies.
