My 300+ Cholesterol Didn’t Come From My Morning Eggs (Thanks, Grandma)

Introduction: Blame the Eggs? Think Again.

I eat eggs. A lot of them. And like many of you, I grew up hearing that too many eggs would send my cholesterol through the roof. Turns out that myth doesn’t hold up to science.

Years ago, I was shocked to see my cholesterol pushing 300+. But my diet was clean: minimal sugar, no processed oils, and yes, plenty of omelets. So what was really going on?

Let’s examine the misunderstood relationship between eggs, cholesterol, and inflammation and explain why your focus should shift from fear to function.

Cholesterol: Your Body’s Emergency Response Team

Cholesterol isn’t the enemy. It’s an essential molecule used to:

• Build every cell membrane in your body

• Form protective sheaths around your nerves

• Synthesize hormones like testosterone, estrogen, and cortisol

Your liver produces 75% or more of your body’s cholesterol, adjusting levels based on dietary options. Eat less cholesterol, your body makes more. Eat more? It makes less. It's not as simple as "cholesterol in, equals cholesterol out."

What About Eggs?

Each egg contains around 186 mg of cholesterol, mainly in the yolk. That scared off consumers for decades. But recent studies reveal:

Egg consumption does not significantly impact blood levels of LDL (“bad”) cholesterol or increase heart disease risk in healthy individuals. Moreover, eggs may improve:

• HDL ("good") cholesterol

• LDL particle size (bigger = less dangerous)

• Insulin sensitivity

• Satiety and metabolic function

A 2013 BMJ meta-analysis confirmed:

No association between moderate egg consumption and increased cardiovascular risk.

The Real Culprit: Inflammation

So why do some people still have high cholesterol?

Because cholesterol is reactive, not causative, it’s like Pepto-Bismol at a chili cook-off—showing up to deal with the damage, not causing it. Inflamed arteries trigger your body to send cholesterol as a patch. But unless you address the root cause (diet, sugar, stress, toxins), you're just putting out spot fires.

Key Drivers of Inflammation and Elevated Cholesterol:

What the Experts Now Say

In 2015, the U.S. government’s top nutrition panel made a surprising reversal:

"Cholesterol is not considered a nutrient of concern for overconsumption."

Translation: You can stop blaming your breakfast.

But What About Egg Allergies?

Valid question.

Egg allergy is an immune response to egg proteins, not cholesterol. It often appears in infancy and usually resolves by adolescence. According to the Mayo Clinic:

Most children outgrow egg allergies, and adult-onset egg allergy is uncommon. So unless medically diagnosed, most people can tolerate eggs without issue.
