What it does

One of the richest choline sources — needed for memory and cell membranes.

Where the number comes from

Eggs sits in the eggs group of the Fadnes model, the only peer-reviewed model that converts eating into years of life. The lifetime gain for that group is spread across the days you actually eat it — a daily serving from age 20 to 80 — which gives −18 min per serving. The authors rate the evidence behind this group as very low.
