Eggs do not cause your cholesterol to rise.
Question
Eggs: Are they good or bad for my cholesterol?I'm confused. Are eggs good or bad for my cholesterol?
Answer
from Thomas Behrenbeck, M.D.
It's understandable that you're confused. Eggs are high in cholesterol, and a diet high in cholesterol can contribute to elevated blood cholesterol levels. However, the extent to which dietary cholesterol raises blood cholesterol levels isn't clear. Many scientists believe that saturated fats and trans fats have a greater impact than does dietary cholesterol in raising blood cholesterol.
Adding to the confusion, the American Heart Association recently acknowledged that as long as you limit dietary cholesterol from other sources, it may be possible to include a daily egg in a healthy diet a statement that was heavily reported in the media.
Here are the facts: One large egg has about 213 milligrams (mg) of cholesterol all of which is found in the yolk. If you are healthy, it's recommended that you limit your dietary cholesterol intake to less than 300 mg a day. If you have cardiovascular disease, diabetes or high LDL (or "bad") cholesterol, you should limit your dietary cholesterol intake to less than 200 mg a day. Therefore, if you eat an egg on a given day, it's important to limit or avoid other sources of cholesterol for the rest of that day.

Let's see....
1) You can easily eat one dozen eggs a week as they will NOT cause your cholesterol to rise. Scientists have shown that infants who eat the adult equivalent of 40 eggs per week don't have problems.
2) If you are cooking eggs, eating them every day can lead to an allergy. Thus it is best to eat them 5 days a week or less if prepared conventionally. Raw is no problem more often.
3) Eggs are an excellent source of protein, amongst the few foods that contain complete proteins meaning they provide the 8 essential amino acids.

3 to 5 eggs a week is probably very healthy. To be honest, for me it's not neccessarily the egg, but what I have with the egg. BACON or sausage, home fries, cheese omlet, quiche.
Now Im hungry.

Sure, the stevia would be fine. If you use splenda, measure the granular stuff the way you would sugar.
I eat low-carb too.

Many scientists believe that saturated fats and trans fats have a greater impact than does dietary cholesterol in raising blood cholesterol.
Many scientists are idiots. Saturated fats and trans fats don't even belong in the same category. Cholesterol isn't evil. Your body is made out of a good deal of it...especially your brain. If you don't ingest it, your body makes it. Cholesterol repairs your cell walls. The LOWER your cholesterol levels the GREATER your overall mortality risk.
"Cholesterol is not the major culprit in heart disease or any disease. If it becomes oxidized it can irritate/inflame tissues in which it is lodged in, such as the endothelium (lining of the arteries). This would be one of numerous causes of chronic inflammation that can injure the lining of arteries. However, many good fats are easily oxidized such as omega-3 fatty acids, but it does not mean that you should avoid it at all costs.
Common sense would indicate that we should avoid the oxidation (rancidity) of cholesterol and fatty acids and not get rid of important life-giving molecules. Using the same conventional medical thinking that is being used for cholesterol would lead one to believe that doctors should reduce the risk of Alzheimer's disease by taking out everybody's brain.
In fact, cholesterol is being transported to tissues as part of an inflammatory response that is there to repair damage.
The fixation on cholesterol as a major cause of heart disease defies the last 15 years of science and deflects from real causes such as the damage (via glycation) that sugars such as glucose and fructose inflict on tissues, including the lining of arteries, causing chronic inflammation and resultant plaque.
