How Cholesterol Is Accumulated in the Body

Contrary to popular belief, cholesterol in your foods doesn’t contribute significantly towards your cholesterol level. Your body actually produces cholesterol all on its own—more than you could ever get from eating food. In fact, studies have shown that only ⅓ of your cholesterol comes from outside sources—the rest is produced by your own body.

The real danger to your cholesterol doesn’t come from cholesterol at all, but from saturated fats and trans fats. Eggs do not have any trans fats—those come from oils that have been hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated—and is not a significant source of saturated fats; a large egg only contains only 1.5 g.

Do Eggs Influence Your Cholesterol Levels?

Eating eggs does have an effect on your cholesterol levels according to studies. However, the effect is minimal. One study showed that eating eggs only raised the levels of LDL-1 and LDL-2 particles. These cholesterol particles do not pose a risk for cardiovascular disease. The particles that are the biggest threat are LDL-3 through LDL-7—none of which have their levels raised by eating eggs.

Eggs are densely packed with nutrients that are helpful for your body. Don’t be afraid to eat them every once in awhile. While they do contain a significant amount of cholesterol, they don’t influence your cholesterol levels in a very negative way. Just make sure to limit your egg consumption and eat foods with less cholesterol on days when you have eggs to keep your cholesterol consumption below the daily recommended allowances.
