A member asked:
Does the cholesterol in eggs affect your hdl, or ldl, cholesterol? i eat 3 eggs every morning.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
LDL: Chicken eggs are high in cholesterol, and a diet high in cholesterol can contribute to high blood cholesterol levels. However, how much the cholesterol in your diet can increase your blood cholesterol varies from person to person. Although eating too many eggs can increase your cholesterol, eating four egg yolks or fewer on a weekly basis hasn't been found to increase your risk of heart disease.
