- A study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition showed that eating two eggs daily lowered LDL cholesterol, while high saturated fat diets raised it
- Researchers found cholesterol from eggs did not raise LDL, but saturated fat from foods like bacon and sausage did, showing food context makes a major difference
- Eggs provide cholesterol without overloading the liver, allowing it to clear LDL efficiently and preventing artery buildup that increases heart disease and stroke risk
- Weekly egg intake reduced heart disease deaths by 29% and all-cause mortality by 17% in older adults, highlighting the importance of moderation for protective benefits
- Choosing pastured eggs, avoiding vegetable oils, and pairing eggs with nutrient-rich whole foods further boost benefits while minimizing harmful omega-6 linoleic acid (LA) intake
