Cholesterol in eggs

sammyosborn

Just wondering, should I be concerned about cholesterol from eggs? I can easily eat a few a day when dieting.

Has your doctor told you to watch your cholesterol? Is your cholesterol High? From what I understand the cholesterol in eggs is good cholesterol not bad....

Unless you have a health issue (familial hypercholesterolemia), dietary cholesterol doesn't effect serum cholesterol. I eat at least two eggs a day, sometimes as many as six, and my cholesterol is fine.

No the doctor hasn't said anything and as far as I know its not high, I last had full bloods done a year ago and they didn't mention anything.

Its just something that goes round in the back of my mind, probably from reading online so thought I should check

Dietary cholesterol has little to no bearing on blood serum levels for the vast majority of people. Your liver produces far more than you will ever eat. Most of the world doesn't even put cholesterol on their food labels because it's pretty much irrelevant information...the US is following suit soon with new FDA guidelines.

I had very bad cholesterol numbers when I started out...I eat eggs daily and corrected my numbers simply by losing weight and getting in regular exercise.

while eating whole eggs with sausage peppers Ann's cheese for breakfast, pork, beef, and chicken with the skin on, my triglycerides dripped from over 300 to 45 in a couple years. Cholesterol has been the best ever in my adult life.
Fat and cholesterol in the food didn't mean increasing cholesterol in your blood.
Lots of vegans and vegetarians have high cholesterol.
Too much fructose causes fatty liver disease.

That dietary cholesterol affects cholesterol levels in the vast majority is and old myth that hopefully will die soon. you will most likely experience no negative affects from eating eggs, even if not losing weight.
