Eggs contain both HDL (High-Density Lipoprotein) and LDL (Low-Density Lipoprotein) cholesterol.
While eggs are a source of cholesterol, it's important to remember that cholesterol is a vital component of cell membranes and hormones. The cholesterol in eggs does not necessarily translate directly to increased LDL cholesterol levels in the body.
Research has shown that moderate egg consumption (up to one per day) does not significantly raise LDL cholesterol levels in most people.
The impact of eggs on cholesterol levels can vary depending on individual factors such as genetics, diet, and overall health.
For individuals with pre-existing heart conditions or high cholesterol, it's always best to consult with a healthcare professional to determine the appropriate amount of egg consumption.
