Harvard University doctoral student Nick Norwitz, who ate 720 eggs for a month to debunk the myth, said that, contrary to popular myth, eating large amounts of eggs does not increase the level of “bad cholesterol” in the blood. Scientist shared the results of the experiment YouTube channel.
Before starting the research, Norwitz hypothesized that eating eggs did not increase cholesterol, but rather reduced the number of low-density lipoproteins (LDL) in the blood. To prove his hypothesis, the scientist ate two dozen eggs a day.
After a month, the doctoral student said he did not notice any negative effects of his diet. Moreover, the measurement showed that the amount of LDL in his body decreased by 18%.
According to some experts, the decrease in LDL levels may be due to the work of the liver, which reduces the production of such lipoproteins with excessive consumption of eggs.
Before that, gastroenterologist Tatyana Zharovskaya recommended For people with high cholesterol, limit the amount of saturated fat in your diet, including eggs. It is recommended that you do not eat more than once a day.
