Do eggs increase cholesterol
A recent study has shown that eating eggs does not significantly contribute to raising LDL (bad) cholesterol levels in healthy individuals, and that the main factor in increasing blood cholesterol is the intake of saturated fats. It was found that consuming two eggs daily as part of a low saturated fat diet led to a decrease in bad cholesterol levels, whereas saturated fats found in meat, butter, and cheese are considered the more dangerous source. Health experts recommend reducing dietary cholesterol intake to less than 300 milligrams per day, noting that a person can eat up to seven eggs per week without increasing the risk of heart disease; however, diabetics may be more vulnerable to these risks. A large egg contains about 186 milligrams of cholesterol, and it is advisable to use egg whites or cholesterol-free alternatives, especially for those looking to decrease their intake.
