It is true that eggs are high in cholesterol. In fact, do you know, a single egg contains 186 mg.
However, it’s also important to keep in mind that cholesterol in the diet may not necessarily have an impact on blood cholesterol levels or risk of heart disease.
The liver actually produces large amounts of cholesterol every single day. In fact, when you eat more cholesterol, your liver has the ability to regulate cholesterol levels by producing less to even it out.
Nevertheless, the response to eating eggs varies between individuals.
👉 In 70% of people, eating cholesterol may not raise blood cholesterol or only mildly raise it (termed “hypo responders”).
👉 In the other 30% of the population (termed “hyper responders”), eggs or other sources of dietary cholesterol may lead to a large rise in blood cholesterol.
