Dr. Mickey Rubin and Colleagues with the American Egg Board, Egg Nutrition Center have submitted comments to the 2025 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee incorporating citations of recent research regarding diets and cardiovascular health.

In a statement, the American Egg Board stated, “Eggs play an increasingly important role in American diets and what we know about the benefits of eggs has grown exponentially as nutrition science has evolved.  The American Egg Board and our highly credential scientists at the Egg Nutrition Center are committed to supporting the crucial work of the Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee.

Specific items included in the submission included: -

• Conducting many studies of relatively short duration to expand knowledge.
• Including biomarkers for cardiovascular health that have emerged and are recognized by the scientific community.

Dr. Mickey Rubin, Executive Director of the Egg Nutrition Center, stated “There are important considerations not currently accounted for in the proposed scientific review protocol that will help ensure that the Committee has a complete and accurate understanding of what the current science says.”

The 2025 Committee comprises twenty nationally recognized nutrition and public health experts appointed by the Department of Health and Human Services and the USDA to review nutrition science and develop a scientific report that will guide the 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans.
