      The 2015-2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans includes the following text on page 32: "Strong evidence from mostly prospective cohort studies but also randomized controlled trials has shown that eating patterns that include lower intake of dietary cholesterol are associated with reduced risk of CVD."
      Just above this text on the same page of the guidelines: "The Key Recommendation from the 2010 Dietary Guidelines to limit consumption of dietary cholesterol to 300 mg per day is not included in the 2015 edition, but this change does not suggest that dietary cholesterol is no longer important to consider when building healthy eating patterns. As recommended by the IOM, individuals should eat as little dietary cholesterol as possible while consuming a healthy eating pattern."

      Totally agree with you! Meanwhile, the food monopolists are raking in the profits and blaming the higher prices on inflation. A report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics showed that inflation slowed a bit in January, but the prices of alcohol, meat, poultry, fish and EGGS rose MORE than inflation between then and the middle of February. I even heard a program on public radio that seemed to be toeing industry's line, supporting the idea that the rise in egg prices was inevitable (due to avian flu, at least), AND that eggs were a necessary consumer good!

    Your take on eggs was long on conspiracies and short on science. The VAST majority of cholesterol in your small intestine comes from secreted bile salts. Reducing dietary cholesterol will only make a small difference in serum cholesterol absorption and its variability is largely determined genetically by your NPC1L1 receptors and your abcg5/g8 transporters. Not saying that everyone should eat a lot of eggs, but you should have at least mentioned that the vast majority of cholesterol is endogenous for scientific perspective.

    Eggs are incredibly healthy.
    I eat 3-5 eggs every day. Home grown eggs from my own chooks. So I know they are the highest quality.
    People always say the cholesterol is going to kill me but these are the same people who don't actually do the research. Our body produces its own cholesterol. Eating eggs just means we don't need to make as much and we can make anywhere from 1000-3000mg of cholesterol every day pending on size and weight. In short, don't factor in cholesterol. Besides eggs are a complete protein. Eating the entire egg (not overcooked) is one of the only proteins that our body processes at a super high efficiency even higher than meat and far far higher than vegetable proteins.

      New research contributes to the ongoing debate of whether eggs are good or bad for you - and this time, the news isn't sunny side up.
      The study, published in February 2021 in PLoS Medicine, found that every additional half egg participants ate per day was associated with a 7 percent higher risk of premature death from all causes. Also, every extra 300 milligrams (mg) of cholesterol per day was linked to a 19 percent higher risk of dying early.
      Results from this study mirror findings from a study published in March 2019 in the Journal of the American Medical Association that also examined the risks of eggs and cholesterol. This earlier research found each additional half egg consumed per day was tied to an 8 percent greater risk of death from all causes, and each extra 300 mg of cholesterol was linked to an 18 percent higher risk of premature death.

    Serum cholesterol and triglycerides "shoot up" after consuming foods containing fat and cholesterol because those substances are being broken down and transported as necessary. After that's done, the levels go down, that's normal and expected after a few hours. There's a problem when a person has persistently elevated triglycerides or cholesterol. The graphs you showed demonstrated that eating cholesterol does not cause persistently elevated cholesterol. The body goes back to homeostasis after a meal, if the person is healthy.

If we can advise on health measures (that barely anyone listens to) after the fact (i.e. disease) then we can surely advocate better preventative measures.

    Thanks for the great video! The oxidation of LDL caused by eating eggs was new information for me, thanks for explaining that. I was wondering why Dr. Gil of "Nutrition made Simple" says eating eggs does not raise your cholesterol. Btw, I eat a vegan diet since 6 years, before that I was lifelong vegetarian, and I ate an egg sometimes just because I thought I needed to eat it to stay healthy. I am so glad I found your channel, and in the comments of your video I read about the book "How not to Die" from Dr. Micheal Greger. Saved my mothers life (she could lower her blood pressure and lower her LDL cholesterol with plant based diet).

      I seem to recall from one of the episodes that Gil did with dr. Tom Dayspring that there's large individual variation in how much of dietary cholesterol actually makes it into an individual's bloodstream, but that for the majority of people it'll be a rather small percentage. In his "do eggs raise your cholesterol" video however, he appears to quite clearly state that eggs *do* raise blood cholesterol. So, with regards to cholesterol, I gotta say I'm still confused. Saturated fat, at least, is crystal clear.

      ​​@@ElteHupkes Dr. Greger has another video where he showed how the egg board sponsored studies designed to show that eating eggs doesn't raise blood cholesterol (much).
      The dietary cholesterol does not raise the blood cholesterol in a linear way. The blood cholesterol is raised most by the first dietary cholesterol ingested, then the curve flattens out.
      Dr. Greger explained with this analogy: If a man has been drinking six glasses of wine and then drinks a beer, you could argue that beer does not have the ability to make a man drunk...
      And the baseline blood cholesterol, when you don't ingest cholesterol is individual, but the raised blood cholesterol from eating dietary cholesterol has a neat mathematical formula which predicts your blood cholesterol with accuracy.

    Spices are generally considered to be healthy because they are derived from plants and are rich in phytochemicals and antioxidants, which have been shown to have health benefits. However, the FDA does not provide a specific "healthy" label for spices because they are not considered to be a significant source of nutrients.

      Some spices are high in Thallium and upset people's stomach. Chickens don't have a uterus, so there's no endometrium and no periodic shedding of it. Therefore no period in birds. So you are wrong about chicken periods. Chicken miscarriages, well chickens don't get pregnant, so they can't have miscarriages. Instead of the mammalian method of the embryo burrowing into the endometrium and growing internally, the egg travels down the oviduct where it is fertilized if the hen has been inseminated by a rooster, acquires a shell, and then is laid. Go back to school and learn and then eat 1 egg per day like Dr. Leila Denmark did for over 100 years.

      @@StanDupp6371 Wow, you ask for critical data and then insinuate that Japanese people have the highest IQ--not factual--and seem to attribute it to their egg consumption, which has only recently become the highest per capita globally, anyhow. Creepily eugenics-adjacent, that.
      Further, their life expectancy is decreasing and their cancer rates, including those of highest mortality, are increasing as their diet becomes more Westernized--including increasing egg consumption, though not exclusively for that reason--and this is well known in current longevity research.
      But you are also arguing that eggs, which have been causally linked to recurrence of prostate cancer in humans, have anti-carcinogenic potential merely because they contain some anti-oxidant vitamins, list as directly cancer cell-destroying nutrients which have not demonstrated such potential, and assert that eggs are protective to the heart--also not factual, because while reviews of meta-analysis suggest that moderate egg consumption has no adverse impact on heart health, this isn't the same thing as eggs having been specifically proven to prevent heart disease or to be otherwise cardiac-protective. I remind you that absence of evidence is not inverse proof.
      Lots of things which have not been linked to high morbidity disorders have the nutrients that eggs have, without their high IGF-1 [controversial marker], saturated fat, and cholesterol content. There is nothing essential in eggs that we cannot get from healthier sources not linked to ANY poor health outcomes.
      I will end by stating that the moral objection to eating eggs--that animals are tortured to produce them--which I mentioned in my first response, still beats all of your nutrition-based arguments.
