The Surprising Truth About Eating Eggs Every Day — A Nutrition Powerhouse, Not a Villain

And let’s not forget:

✅ They’re affordable

✅ Cook in minutes

✅ Work for keto, paleo, vegan-ish diets (just kidding—eggs aren’t vegan 😉)

No wonder they’ve been called “nature’s multivitamin.”

🧪 Debunking the Cholesterol Myth

Here’s the big fear:

Each yolk has about 186 mg of dietary cholesterol.

So eating eggs must raise your blood cholesterol… right?

❌ Nope.

Decades of research now show:

For ~70% of people, eating eggs doesn’t raise blood cholesterol at all.

In some, HDL (“good” cholesterol) goes up, and LDL becomes larger, fluffier, and less harmful.

Your genes and overall diet matter far more than whether you eat an egg or two daily.

👉 A 2020 meta-analysis in The BMJ found:

Up to one egg per day is linked to a lower risk of stroke—not heart disease.

Even the American Heart Association says:

✅ Most healthy adults can enjoy 1–2 eggs per day as part of a balanced diet.
