Whole Eggs and Cholesterol
I've been eating 4 XL whole eggs for breakfast so I was reading up on Cholesterol. I had some interesting finds over on wikipedia and was curious if anybody else had done any research on this.
I found alot of things I didnt know like Lipoproteins LDL/HDL, how it relates to cholesterol and other body effects. Thoughts?

Re: Whole Eggs and Cholesterol
dietary cholesterol and blood cholesterol are not related. genetics and activity level are what cause a build up of bad cholesterol in your circulatory system.

Re: Whole Eggs and Cholesterol
Dietary cholestorol doesn't really affect blood cholesterol, but I think dietary Saturated Fat does. So cut down on Sat fats.
I could be wrong on this though, but it's good advice no matter what it has to do with cholesterol. [img]/forum/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Re: Whole Eggs and Cholesterol
1. stop using wikipedia as a reference
2. cholesterol effects on the body are genetic (take the bloke who is currenlty 103 and has had a fry up every morning for 80 years) if worried stick to 4egg whites to one full egg

Re: Whole Eggs and Cholesterol
For your egg meals, use 1 egg yolk and separate the yolks from the rest of the eggs you're using. 1 egg yolk is 60% of you DV.
Also, look at your Whey Protein, that may have cholesterol in it too.

[/ QUOTE ] It may be 60%, but it doesn't mean that a person's blood cholesterol will increase by having high-cholesterol foods. Other factors are probably involved and it's probably also individual. I have upwards of 8 jumbo sized whole eggs a day, along with other high fat foods. My cholesterol is 144 and my other numbers are great. People should give it a try (adding in more cholesterol rich foods) and see if their cholesterol doesn't increase. There are clear benefits from consuming high cholesterol foods

[ QUOTE ] Cholesterol is minimally soluble in water; it cannot dissolve and travel in the water-based bloodstream. Instead, it is transported in the bloodstream by lipoproteins—protein "molecular-suitcases" that are water-soluble and carry cholesterol and triglycerides internally. The apolipoproteins forming the surface of the given lipoprotein particle determine from what cells cholesterol will be removed and to where it will be supplied. Cholesterol is transported towards peripheral tissues by the lipoproteins chylomicrons, very low density lipoproteins (VLDL) and low-density lipoproteins (LDL). Large numbers of small dense LDL (sdLDL) particles are strongly associated with the presence of atheromatous disease within the arteries. For this reason, LDL is referred to as "bad cholesterol". On the other hand, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) particles transport cholesterol back to the liver for excretion. Having large numbers of large HDL particles correlates with better health outcomes, and hence it is commonly called "good cholesterol". In contrast, having small amounts of large HDL particles is independently associated with atheromatous disease progression within the arteries.

There are MUCH more reputable sources than a Wiki, especially if you are using said often-faulty information for something like your health or personal goals. Wiki is fine for trivial knowledge, but if you are serious about whatever it is you are looking for you should really use scholarly sources. You have an obligation to find better sources. Wiki is AT BEST unreliable. At its worst . . . -Cheers
