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.

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.
