Debunked: The Popular Myth About the Harm of Eggs

Sensational discovery: eggs do not harm the heart! Australian scientists have destroyed a long-standing myth

A revolutionary study by the University of South Australia, published in the prestigious The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition (AJCN), has overturned the understanding of how eggs affect heart health. Scientists carefully examined the relationship between dietary cholesterol, saturated fats, and levels of "bad" cholesterol (LDL) in the blood.

Researchers analyzed extensive data on the diet and health of volunteers who consumed up to two eggs daily as part of a diet high in cholesterol but low in saturated fats. The results were astonishing - such a diet did not increase LDL levels and did not increase the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases.

The main discovery was the fact that the key culprit in raising cholesterol is specifically saturated fats, not cholesterol from eggs, as previously thought. This discovery forces a radical reconsideration of dietary recommendations from recent decades. Now it can be said with confidence: eggs can be a full-fledged part of a healthy diet without risk to the heart - provided there is balanced nutrition and control over the consumption of saturated fats.
