Eggs contain cholesterol, yes, but it doesn’t stay cholesterol as it is digested and torn apart into its constituent parts.

Bread, Pasta, Rice, Pies, Cakes and Sugars are BAD for your cholesterol, since they contain the ingredients your body uses to make cholesterol.

The real culprits are triglycerides................

I have genetic borderline high LDL but good HDL and triglycerides. My doctor says nothing I do except get skinny and exercise will help my LDL but I need to keep my HDL high and triglycerides low. Triglycerides are sticky, I think, and stick to the walls of the arteries better than cholesterol does. She has never told me not to eat eggs. Eggs contain dietary cholesterol, not blood cholesterol. I think they decided eating cholesterol won’t hurt you where blood cholesterol does. I can’t keep up with it. They (scientists) change their minds too much.

The government studies a few years ago said don’t eat them. I mostly ignored them.
