In summary, eating cholesterol-rich foods
as part of a healthy, anti-inflammatory diet
like this one is not problematic. If you’re
following our Good Food recommendations,
your body won’t need to overproduce
cholesterol, which means it’s totally safe for
you to consume some in your food. We’re OK
with regular consumption of whole eggs—
even if you’re eating five or six at a time—as
part of the varied, high-quality diet we’re
outlining here.
In fact, one 2008 study summarized:
“There is no convincing evidence to link an
increased intake of dietary cholesterol or eggs
with coronary heart disease through raised
blood cholesterol. Indeed, eggs make a
nutritional contribution to a healthy diet.”
Maybe we could have just said that.
