Dietary cholesterol

As we now know, dietary cholesterol isn’t as bad as we thought it is 10+ years ago.
Especially for healthy & active individual there seems to be no upper limit that would cause problems.
If this is true, why wouldn’t someone use eggs as their main source of protein and consume 15+ eggs daily?

Answer

People say this but for a large number of people dietary cholesterol is bad.

​

>However, in some people, high-cholesterol foods raise blood cholesterol levels. These people make up about 40% of the population and are often referred to as “hyperresponders.” This tendency is considered to be genetic (13Trusted Source, 14Trusted Source).

Answer

The gains you can get from cutting down dietary cholesterol are usually pretty modest, like maybe a 10 point reduction in LDL-C.

The thing is, imo, you need to weigh that against how easy it can be to lower dietary cholesterol. There are fat free egg products like Egg Beaters and the plant based product Just Egg that allow people to make omelets and scrambled eggs with them. If these are the type of foods people are making, then dietary cholesterol can be reduced with no real need to fundamentally change meals.

Answer

The only real issue with consuming 15+eggs daily is A it’s unrealistic and B hyper-nutrient consumption.

For example vitamin A toxicity is achieved this way. And while dietary cholesterol isn’t really a problem, because shocker shocker its sugar and omega 6 oxidised oils (fastfood, processed foods and vegan BS food). The issue would come in the form of the eggs quality? If the chicken is eating crap, the egg itself has that crap. So if the diet is high omega 6 and the environment is stress, the hormone profile is a ear shreeking nightmare to hear.
