The findings, published in the Circulation, emerged from their study of people given choline supplements, half of whom were meat eaters, and the remainder vegetarians.
After two months, TMAO levels in the group rose ten-fold, and the tendency for blood platelets to clump together rose proportionately.
The Harvard School of Public Health explains: “Although foods rich in choline – liver, egg yolks, and red meat – tend to be higher in saturated fat, choline can also be found in foods lower in saturated fat including salmon, cod, tilapia, chicken breast and legumes.”
These findings chime with a more recent study published in the Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry, which reported that the consumption of eggs is also associated with increased concentrations of TMAO.
