I average 3 extra large free run eggs a day, and have for 20+ years. I have eaten as many as a dozen, but try to eat 3 per day. They do not constipate you or give you gas if you soft boil or cook them sunnyside up. Hard boiled eggs are those culprits. My cholesterol? Who cares? It is not an indicator of anything except for a trigger for the doctor to become pharmaceutical salesman. Taking cholesterol lowering medications, lowers brain function. The brain is a very high percentage cholesterol in its makeup.
“Taking cholesterol lowering medications LOWERS BRAIN FUNCTION!!!”
You don’t say!
I need to study what’s in my Med. Cabinet.
Perhaps read a bit of @Mangan150 on Twitter. Sun, Steak, & Steel. He's an interesting cat. Throws the Foot Pyramind upside down and has research papers he finds that amaze me. Briefly and not a qoute high choleterol means your body can functionally process the fat's you are giving it. I hope I spell this correct Choline, eggs are a great source. I wonder if this gent would have faired worse in the memory dept without it.
Bingo. So much of the cholesterol noise being spewed out is just garbage. Things like eggs and high quality butter are good for you, contrary to the "noise".
I will keep repeating it: Our current obsession with cholesterol is the modern equivalent of bloodletting.
Any time the pharmaceutical industry wants to scam people they use "releative risk reduction", without which statins look like joke.
The body uses cholesterol as a bandaid for your arteries. Reducing cholesterol makes as much sense as banning bandaids to prevent lacerations.
I like the phrase about turning a doctor into a pharmaceutical salesman. So true. I have a nephew whose wife was a pharmaceutical sales rep. Her entertainment budget was $140,000 per year. She said the doctors that prescribed the most were treated to deep sea fishing, baseball game and trips. She quit the job out of a sense of disgust with the practices of the profession.
My cholesterol levels are close to ideal.
Most people do not understand that dietary cholesterol does not necessarily give you "high" cholesterol. In fact, in the absence of dietary cholesterol, your body will manufacture its own cholesterol, and not necessarily the good kind.
People who order egg whites thinking they are healthier are denying themselves the most nutritious and tastiest part of the egg for no good reason.
