Question

How many eggs is acceptable to be eaten for a day?

Note: I have a little bit of extra cholesterol.

Answer 1

You can eat as many eggs as you want, as long as you eat other kinds of food as well to balance out your diet. Here's why:

• Eggs contain a substantial amount of cholesterol. However, as you can read here, a substance called lecithin in the eggs inhibits the absorption of cholesterol, so most of the cholesterol in the egg will not be taken up by your body.
• Actually, eating eggs will increase only "good" HDL cholesterol, and has no effect on "bad" LDL cholesterol.
• Also, this study explicitly states that people who eat lots of eggs are less likely to have elevated cholesterol.
• Here's yet another study which says that eating eggs will not increase cholesterol or risk for heart disease. And here's another one. Here's a review which comes to the same conclusion.

I could give you more studies, but I think you get the point. The notion that eggs are bad for your cholesterol is simply false.

Conclusion: Eat all the eggs you want!
