And, if you're LDL is high or you're on statins to counteract that, then you should definitely stay away from the full fat dairy as well as the eggs.

  I thought that the most recent consensus on cholesterol was that dietary cholesterol plays a minuscule role compared to what our own livers produce and that the additional nutritional value of eggs outweigh the cholesterol concerns.

    Yes, that's what I'd read somewhere. It's not consuming cholesterol that's the issue, it's the production. As a totally Bro-Science comparison, eating Fat doesn't translate directly to more Body Fat. ;-)

    Fwiw, eggs and the butter you put on them also contain saturated fat. But meta analyses don’t seem look good for eggs. First google result is a meta to find an egg dose response on CVD and diabetes: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0021915013002438 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S00219... I can imagine there are people with such poor diets that they won’t substitute eggs with anything worth a damn but that’s different than eggs or any other food being worth the worse health outcomes for nutrients you can get elsewhere. Aside, here’s a tofu scramble recipe that tastes eggy (thanks to black salt) but better than scrambled eggs. It’s insanely good: https://youtu.be/Vc5pZ-PY-H8 https://youtu.be/Vc5pZ-PY-H8 - I eat it every morning it’s so tasty and my girlfriend prefers it over eggs.
