Eggs have long been a topic of debate. Decades ago, they were blamed for high cholesterol and heart disease. Today, research has flipped the narrative: for most healthy individuals, eggs are a nutrient-packed superfood rather than a dietary danger.
Understanding Cholesterol
Cholesterol is a type of fat made mostly by your liver, with about 20% coming from the foods you eat. It plays vital roles in the body, including supporting your brain, nerves, skin, cell membranes, hormone production, and vitamin D synthesis.
There are two types of cholesterol:
-
HDL (“good”) cholesterol: Helps protect your arteries.
-
LDL (“bad”) cholesterol: Can contribute to plaque buildup in arteries.
While eggs are high in cholesterol, they are low in saturated fat, which is the real dietary factor that raises LDL cholesterol. Your body also adapts to dietary cholesterol by producing less on its own.
