Eggs for baby brains: new study tests if a dozen a week boosts development

NCT ID NCT07583186

First seen May 13, 2026 · Last updated May 13, 2026

Summary

This study looks at whether eating 10-14 eggs per week during pregnancy can improve a baby's brain development. Eggs are rich in choline, a nutrient important for the fetal brain. About 100 pregnant women will be split into two groups: one that gets advice to eat more eggs, and another that gets general healthy eating advice. Researchers will measure the baby's heart rate before birth and brain activity after birth to see if the egg-rich diet makes a difference.
