They’re a relatively high source of dietary cholesterol. When we first figured out that serum cholesterol is correlated with cardio problems, we basically assumed that dietary cholesterol must be bad. We’ve since figured out that dietary cholesterol is a much less significant driver of serum cholesterol than one would naively assume.

  That was part of the 1990s "fat is evil" thing.

> We’ve since figured out that dietary cholesterol is a much less significant driver of serum cholesterol than one would naively assume. I challenge you to find any study which supports this conclusion that is not funded by egg industry.

  Every single thing you have posted was an attempt to muddy the water. Enough already.

    Hilarious. That's a "no, I cannot" then.

      Making up shit to post does not improve the world or your reputation.

        Are you talking to yourself now? You're the only one that's posted "made up shit" without citation.

  I mean, the Framingham study found no link between dietary cholesterol and serum cholesterol in non-diabetics (e.g. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6024517/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6024517/). It doesn't really get bigger or higher quality than that.
