He must have liked eggs as much as I do. I love them. There have been many days when I’ve had eggs at 3 meals.

Yeah, my cholesterol was high when last checked, but my “good” cholesterol was high too.

“Yeah, my cholesterol was high when last checked, but my “good” cholesterol was high too.”

Eating eggs normally does not cause colesterol to be high. In one study of burn patients who were fed up to 18 eggs a day as part of their treatment, cholesterol was checked at start and at end of treatment. Their cholesterol went down.

Also, there is no such thing as ‘bad’ cholesterol. The cholesterol measured in our blood stream is produced by the liver...because the body absolutely has to have cholesterol to live. Statin drugs stop the production of cholesterol by the liver. Statin drugs do not prevent heart attack, and they do cause Alzheimer’s like symptoms.

When people ask me if I worry about my cholesterol my answer is ‘only if it goes too low’. A cholesterol reading of 250 is much more healthy than 150. And this is even more true as we get older.
