I asked him to eat an egg, but he said he couldn’t eat eggs because of his high cholesterol. He said he could not eat eggs because of his high cholesterol. When I said he could eat eggs with this indicator, he asked, “Can I really eat them? If you can eat them, do you have to limit them to one whole egg every two days? You can’t eat the yolk, right? I’ve heard many people say you can’t eat them!” There are few people who have such concerns and worries. Except for people with hepatic encephalopathy and other conditions that require strict restrictions on animal protein or those born with extreme abnormalities in lipid metabolism, one egg per day is perfectly fine for normal people, and even a slightly higher lipid level has no great impact on health. The World Health Organization used to recommend a daily cholesterol intake limit of 300 mg, but recent studies have found that cholesterol is not the most critical cause of cardiovascular and dyslipidemia, and that moderate cholesterol intake has beneficial effects on bile acid secretion and vitamin D production, and the latest US nutrition guidelines have removed the recommendation to limit cholesterol intake. One egg contains about 200 mg of cholesterol, but only about 30% of it is actually absorbed by the body, i.e. only 50-60 mg of cholesterol is absorbed by the body. In addition, the lecithin contained in the yolk helps the body metabolize cholesterol, so that even less cholesterol is absorbed by the body. Therefore, if you are not allergic to eggs and have no restrictions on egg whites, but simply have high cholesterol, you can eat eggs normally.
