This thesis investigates the impact of dietary egg intake on gut health and cognitive function in younger and older adults. The projects involved conducting extensive evidence synthesis and a large multi-component randomised controlled trial. Results indicated that egg intake promoted the growth of beneficial bacteria in the gut and improved decision-making in older adults. These findings support the health benefits of daily consumption of chicken eggs.<p></p>
