Abstract in brief

  • Dietary cholesterol has been linked to cardiovascular disease (CVD), but recent research shows no evidence supporting this connection, leading to a removal of the 300 mg/day restriction in U.S. dietary guidelines.
  • Most cholesterol-rich foods also contain high levels of saturated fatty acids, which may contribute to CVD risk, except for eggs and shrimp.
  • Eggs are affordable, nutrient-dense, and contain high-quality protein with low saturated fat, making them a valuable addition to a healthy diet, especially for those with limited food access or specific nutrient needs.

No olvidéis que los huevos son alimentos saludables que no incrementan el riesgo de colesterol y que la mayor parte de las guías nutricionales han retirado la recomendación de no ingerir más de 300 mg de colesterol/día. Lo peligroso son las grasas trans https://t.co/jdX2nMWpTP

@AbsurdlyWise Let's stay curious, Billy. Why am I supposedly a 'hyper absorber'? Perhaps that situation happens when people eat high amounts of cholesterol. https://t.co/yCoyzrybPs and https://t.co/3B3uTVLUOF and https://t.co/I5o4DbqHxQ

@BerserkerGats19 You're correct about stearic acid in eggs and muscle protein. Eggs & meat are low in stearic acid. Suet is 99% fat. Eggs lower LDL precisely because it's high in cholesterol. https://t.co/yCoyzryJF0 and https://t.co/3B3uTVMsEd and https://t.co/I5o4Dbrfno

@MohammedAlo LDL cholesterol has an inverse relationship with dietary cholesterol: PMID: 29899250 and https://t.co/aP3nQIFe1v so please just eat food that's high in free cholesterol.

@the_zython @AislingBones @LilySimpson1312 I'd be interested if the article I found while looking around would be one of the ones related to the egg council though - it certainly does reference eggs and shrimp as two potential sources of "Healthy" cholesterol due to low saturated fat content https://t.co/GsBlbRqSPw
