You see, I like eggs and tend to eat a lot of them. I mean, who doesn't love a good omelet, right? Now, I’m sure you’ve heard a time or two before that you should be mindful of consuming too many eggs as their cholesterol content is rather high. I’ve even heard the recommendation that eggs should only be eaten once per week to avoid cholesterol issues. If that’s the case, I’m probably due to die rather soon. Fortunately, it’s not. You see, for years we have been told that cholesterol intake should be kept to a bare minimum as doing so will help to decrease blood cholesterol levels and promote overall health, and although the theory of lowering dietary cholesterol intake to lower internal cholesterol makes logical sense, the theory doesn’t quite pan out, as our bodies are, generally, more complex creatures than our logical minds give them credit for. Fact is, when dietary intake of cholesterol is decreased, the liver compensates by producing more cholesterol, leaving total cholesterol levels relatively unchanged. In the same way, if cholesterol consumption is increased, the liver produces less cholesterol, and again, total cholesterol values will not be substantially altered. Now that’s not to say that we should go hog wild with our intake of cholesterol, but it does mean that one can expect cholesterol levels to remain relatively stable over a wide range of dietary intakes. Given this information, you may be wondering why the body would ever produce more cholesterol if cholesterol is so “bad”, and that’s a good question. The truth is, cholesterol actually acts as an antioxidant against dangerous free radicals within the blood and is also necessary for the production of certain hormones that help to fight against heart disease. When there are high levels of undesirable substances in the blood (caused by the dietary intake of damaged fats, highly processed “unhealthy” foods, and large quantities of sugars), cholesterol levels rise in order to combat these substances. Blaming heart disease on high cholesterol is like blaming infection on high levels of antibodies (special proteins produced by the body in order to defend against foreign bacteria and infectious agents). If the body allowed cholesterol to fall in the presence of large amounts of free radicals, our risk for heart disease would increase, not decrease, and fortunately our bodies won’t let that happen. So, the answer to decreasing blood cholesterol levels is not avoiding omelets and not necessarily decreasing dietary cholesterol intake, but rather improving ones diet overall by eating healthier in general and avoiding the other harmful types of foods mentioned. Combine that with increased physical activity and both you and your cholesterol levels will be in even better shape. Now if there's one food you should be avoiding, it's THIS one: At the link below, we're going to let the cat out of the bag on what is undoubtedly the #1 WORST carb EVER, and how the money-hungry food industry is conspiring to sneak this nightmare carb into just about everything. In the end, this extremely common carb wreaks havoc on your fat-storing hormones in a MAJOR way, and has even been shown to hamper memory, slow brain activity, and increase your risk of Alzheimer’s. ==> The #1 Worst Carb EVER (don't eat this) links.biotrustnews.com/a/...c274447aa1a121bb259c6a8ce Watch out! Joel Marion, CISSN Co-Founder, BioTrust Nutrition Poster Comment: there are actually four types of cholesterol, LDL, MLDL, MHDL, and HDL. The LDL is the worst for you to consume, and HDL is the best.

Lecithin in the egg yolk solubilizes cholesterol. I have eaten 4 eggs a day for 40 years. I do not eat fried food which transforms good fats into trans fats. I eat either soft boiled or lately poached eggs. I do not have high cholesterol.

Docs recommend LDL be less than 2 MMOL/L to minimize its accumulation on artery walls. After reducing eggs to one every other day as well as avoiding high cholesterol foods got mine down from 3.8 to 1.7l within a year. Took a statin for a couple of months. HDL should be greater than LDL.
