i eat a lot of eggs and everytime I log it I get a warning message: your cholesterol is high like it is a bad thing. I don't get it. Ever since I eat a lot of eggs and cholesterol my numbers are better then ever. Must be a myth.

    It is a myth. There's plenty of research and articles to back my statement online.

    It's no longer the 80s anymore.

    4 whole eggs a day crew checking in!

    There is nothing wrong with eating cholesterol in moderation. Your body produces its own cholesterol when you don't eat it. It's only bad for you when you eat more than what your body can regulate.

    Your body can regulate all the cholesterol you care to eat. In a way your body actually thanks you for eating cholesterol because manufacturing it takes more effort.

    they say the egg high cholesterol thing is a myth now yes
    hard to know what to believe anymore
    conflicting advice
    eat this dont eat that
    safe to eat this not safe to eat that
    low carb
    hi carb
    no carb
    high protein

    I am sick of it!

    I hear you, but the cholesterol thing has been known from the beginning, it was ignored, it was political.
