I have been eating between 4 and 6 eggs every day for nearly six months now. I have heard all kinds of opinions on this... some say it's bad for cholesterol, some say there are enzymes that neutralize the cholesterol, etc. I naturally have high cholesterol; probably genetic. Well, in my experience, the people who are saying to avoid eggs due to cholesterol are absolutely wrong. I just had my screening and my total cholesterol is lower than it has ever been, and the only change has been my diet. My doctor said I did have a LDL level that was high, but my LDL level has always been between 90-110 and he said it was nothing to worry about.
Total Cholesteral: 169 (best below 200)
HDL: 52 (best above 35)
LDL: 106 (best below 100)
Triglycerides: 57
Total cholesterol was down from 199 during my last screening before my diet change. I will continue to eat 4+ eggs per day based on this test.
