The findings show that eggs have little to no connection to cholesterol levels. From the BBC:
Researchers,who analyzed several studies of egg nutrition, said the
idea that eating more than three eggs a week was bad for you was still
widespread.
But they said that was a misconception based on out-of-date
evidence... There is cholesterol present in eggs but this does not
usually make a great contribution to your level of blood
cholesterol.... The UK public do not need to be limiting the number of
eggs they eat --
indeed they can be encouraged to include them in a healthy diet as they
are one of nature's most nutritionally dense foods.
Foundation and not some powerful egg lobby. The scientists go on to
say the biggest hurdle is getting people to quit believing eggs are
terrible for them. Nearly half of the British public believes eggs will
increase cholesterol levels and I'm sure numbers are the same, if not
higher, here in the States.
Ten-egg omelet here I come!
