Popular myth about eggs debunked

Eggs are not enemies of cholesterol: scientists have destroyed a long-standing myth about a popular product

The long-standing belief about the harm of eggs for blood cholesterol levels has turned out to be scientifically unfounded. Professor John Buckley from the University of South Australia, in a conversation with El Español publication, categorically refuted this common misconception.

"If you consume eggs as part of a diet low in saturated fats, they will not lead to increased cholesterol," Buckley stated. The scientist particularly emphasized that the problem is not with the eggs themselves, but with the products that traditionally accompany them on our table.

The professor pointed to the true culprits of increased cholesterol - sausage and bacon, which many are accustomed to combining with eggs. It is these combinations in nutrition that can negatively affect the health of the cardiovascular system. In conclusion, Buckley noted an important fact: dietary recommendations calling for the exclusion of eggs from the diet have long lost their relevance and scientific validity.
