      Truth: Cholesterol in food has nothing to do with cholesterol in your body

      The reason why there are all kinds of misunderstandings is all due to having the same name and the same name, called cholesterol, but in fact they are completely different things.

      Food cholesterol is found in fat-like atoms, usually in foods related to animals, such as egg , however it doesn’t have much of an effect on the cholesterol in your blood. Your body makes its own cholesterol, no outside source is needed. What really stimulates your body to make cholesterol is saturated and trans fats. Eggs are relatively low in saturated fat, with just 1.5 grams of saturated fat in one large egg, a fraction of the amount in a tablespoon of butter.

      Therefore, it would be unfavorable to take the eggs off the table rashly. healthy , it cannot prevent the increase in cholesterol, but it misses a good thing that can provide 13 kinds of vitamins and minerals.

      Now that the cholesterol in eggs has nothing to do with the cholesterol in your blood, feel free to eat eggs for breakfast, lunch, and dinner! Don Lehmann, professor emeritus in the School of Food and Human Nutrition at the University of Illinois, said that research on healthy people found that eating eggs does not stimulate the production of blood lipid compounds and does not increase the risk of heart disease.
