When my father had his first heart attack in 1978, he was told, no eggs. When I had a cardiac arrest in 2008, I thought, no more eggs for me. The cardiologist said, why not? The recommendations have changed a lot in 30 or 40 years. The emphasis is not on cholesterol that occurs naturally, but rather, the saturated and trans fats added to processed food.

Yesterday’s settled science becomes today’s archaic belief.
How did that jingle go ... ‘the incredible, edible egg’?
I like to boil about 5 eggs in the evening to have them in the fridge to snack on during the day.
First link is pretty informative

yeah right .. LOL
Caution for those of you with prostate cancer.
Prostate cancer feeds on fat, not sugar. In particular, PCa feeds on choline. Eggs are rich in choline. In general, fat is good if it is from vegetable sources, bad if from animal / dairy.
For me: olive oil, peanut butter, nuts. No eggs, animal fat/protein once per day.

The caveman diet
Those of us who have to deal with severe type II diabetes know full well the virtues of eggs, butter and fatty meats. It’s the other stuff we have to watch out for.
$5.00+ a dozen in California due to cage size mandate by the Marxist legislature.
Mom’s side of the family operated a chicken hatchery. We ate eggs for breakfast every day. Mom was always the firat to point out the scam of beating up eggs as a cholesterol source, as if you do not consume it, your body will produce the hormone itself.
I have never stopped eating eggs.
I just don’t eat them every day, because it is human nature to speak that phrase, “what? again?”
As long as the egg is from a pastured chicken in clean, natural surroundings, it is the healthiest food on the planet.
Based on research, it’s been known for decades that dietary intake of cholesterol has absolutely nothing to do with serum cholesterol levels. Likewise, saturated fat intake is unrelated to cholesterol levels or heart disease.
Furthermore, cholesterol levels are pretty much unrelated to heart disease anyway. For instance, lowering cholesterol by any drugs except for statins (e.g., Zetia, cholestyramine, etc.) does not reduce CVD risks nor do they improve mortality. (There are FAR better predictors and markers for CVD than cholesterol, with triglyceride levels being one of the biggies.)
This means that whatever it is that statins do, it’s not their cholesterol-lowering function that gives them their putative mortality improvements.
Knowledgeable Cardiologists know this, and the honest ones will tell you that no one really knows why statins appear to work. General speculation is that statins are simply a form of anti-inflammatory drugs.
Nonetheless, I refuse to take them because the side-effects can be horrendous (they are for me), and a major side-effect is the suppression of CoQ10 by the liver, and as it turns out the heart requires more CoQ10 than any other muscle or organ in the body.
