The lacto-ovo-vegetarian (LOV) dietary regimen allows eggs, which are a rich source of
choline. Consumption of eggs by LOV women may be especially important during
pregnancy and lactation when demand for choline is high. The aim of this single blind,
randomized, crossover-feeding study was to determine how near-daily egg consumption
influenced biomarkers of choline metabolism in healthy LOV women of reproductive age (n=
15). Because long-chain n-3 fatty acids could influence choline metabolism, the effect of n-3 …
