I am wondering if high cholesterol means I need to be mindful of the amount of eggs I eat?

 

[Drummer]

No.
It is turning out to be a myth.

I don't have the details of the study to hand, but a large 10yr study found no increase of mortality in subjects who ate 1 egg per week or who ate 7 per week or even more than 7 per week compared to those who eat none. In fact the egg eaters had a lower mortality in every case.

This also applied when to Diabetics and to those with previous Coronary Vascular Disease incidents but they did exclude people with a CVD incident in the last 3 month before the start of the study (reasonable since those with a more recent incident may well be at higher risk).

Now you may ask that since it is thought (by the editors of such journals) that least 50% and possibly up to 90% of studies published in the big medical journals may be false or deliberately misleading, can this egg study be trusted?
I don't know, but at worst case it may have been funded by egg producers, however personally I would give one funded by farmers groups more credibility than one funded either by Processed Food manufacturers or by big Pharma companies.

My understanding is that it has been acknowledged for some time now that serum cholesterol is not affected very much by dietary cholesterol intake.

Total cholesterol is affected somewhat by how much saturated fat you eat, but I believe that the majority of cholesterol that is in your bloodstream and reported in your annual blood checks (by which I guess I mean HDL, LDL and trigs, which aren’t actually cholesterol but are lipoproteins or some other confusing particles...) your body actually generates itself.
