Heart-Healthy Cholesterol
Years ago, the egg was demonized because of its cholesterol content, which is also located in the egg yolk. However, in most circumstances, dietary cholesterol has little to no impact on blood cholesterol levelsâone of the reasons cholesterol-lowering drugs are such a big business. Many studies have demonstrated that the consumption of several eggs per week has no significant impact on blood cholesterol levels, stroke, or heart disease.
Some studies, where the cholesterol did increase, found it was the HDL or âgoodâ cholesterol that was on the rise. The data has been so compelling that the American Heart Association was forced to retract its recommended ban on the consumption of eggs and, in fact, today considers their inclusion part of a healthful, balanced diet.
