Whenever I try to search it up, whether it be with google or DuckDuckGo, it just links articles about the effects of eggs on LDL and HDL cholesterol in blood levels but I’m not interested in that. I’ve read that stuff a dozen times now looking for the answer. I just want to know the actual mg content of LDL vs. HDL. Thanks.
As far as I can tell, an egg is a giant cell and most of the cholesterol is in the membranes of the cell, as part of the phospholipid bilayer (and the membrane of the yolk, etc.). It is not in the form of lipoproteins in appreciable amounts, either HDL or LDL, which are carrier particles not significant intracellular particles.
Dietary cholesterol does not raise blood cholesterol to any significant margin. This has been a long held myth that for some reason has not died. Saturated and trans fats are far more dangerous to your cardiovascular health and actually do raise your cholesterol.
It depends on the chicken that laid the egg and what their diet consisted of. There’s no one measurement that will be accurate across the board.
Going to the store and getting an egg that’s been industrially raised grain fed will be different than the eggs the chickens from Paw-Paw’s backyard, who’re eating all kinds of insects and seeds. IMO chickens that have a wild, insect heavy diet lay healthier eggs than than the industrially raised ones (better omega 3:6 ratio for starters)
