And the egg and cholesterol example is even more complex.
Because the cholesterol that is ingested does not necessarily increase amount of cholesterol in your body. Because body produces cholesterol on its own and when you ingest cholesterol -- it just produces less of it.
At least assuming you are healthy person. If you are not and your body already has problems regulating cholesterol - adding more cholesterol might actually be a bad idea.
This shows how important it is to actually understand processes and relations and not just rely on correlations.
Studies are flawed because we are looking for correlations and then immediately try to look at study result as a general rule to guide our decision process.
What we should do instead, we should still do these studies, but then we need to follow with more research to actually understand where these correlations come from exactly. Like understand actual biochemistry of what is going on.
