just curious, what is that compound? and was it there before 2023?
Shut up, thou foul denier of
The Science[SUP]TM[/SUP]!! There is no place for curiosity in such matters!
Heretic! Blasphemer!
Seriously, though, the compound in question is choline
[1], which the article notes "is deemed an essential nutrient that is widely recommended for optimal health [and which] supports various bodily functions, including cellular growth and metabolism". It also says "concentrations of choline found in food are generally safe". However, "[r]esearchers found that consuming the nutrient in
high concentrations could lead to cause [sic] clotting" (emphasis added). By "high concentrations", of course, they mean "concentrations not actually found in eggs" (or in anything else you're likely to encounter outside of a laboratory, for that matter).
IOW: The headline (and the entire article) is just an exercise in shouting "
ooh, look! a squirrel!!". (I leave it to the reader to guess what they might be trying to divert attention from.)
[1] Actually, it's trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO), which is produced when choline interacts with gut bacteria. Choline is found in eggs, but TMAO is not - which I suppose is why the headline says "linked to" instead of "causes", for whatever difference that will make to most readers. (
