This is according to a new study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.<\/em><\/p>\n Researchers from Tufts tracked 1,400+ U.S. adults at risk for heart disease.<\/p>\n They analyzed how cholesterol from eggs affected their LDL levels.<\/p>\n Here’s what they discovered:<\/p>\n People who ate more eggs didn\u2019t have higher LDL (\u201cbad\u201d) cholesterol.<\/p>\n They didn\u2019t have more LDL particles either\u2014the type that clogs arteries.<\/p>\n But something else did<\/em> raise LDL.<\/p>\n Saturated fat.<\/p>\n Even small increases in saturated fat spiked LDL particle counts… the kind of cholesterol that builds plaque.<\/p>\n This held true no matter the person\u2019s weight, diet, or background.<\/p>\n That means your eggs aren\u2019t the problem. It\u2019s what you\u2019re eating with<\/em> them: sausage, butter, cream, or baked goods.<\/p>\n The old advice to limit egg yolks was based on the idea that cholesterol in food goes straight to your arteries.<\/p>\n This study shows that\u2019s not how it works.<\/p>\n But eating eggs is not going to lower your cholesterol levels either.<\/p>\n But thousands of readers have completely normalized their cholesterol by cutting out one hidden ingredient, you didn’t even know you were consuming.
