Previously I was told eating eggs lead to increased cholesterol, yet, news articles repeat that it’s not true. How can the conclusions be so contradicting given that it’s simply about measuring cholesterol before and after eating eggs?
I can’t help but feel suspicious knowing ‘bacons are good for the heart’ ‘doctors smoke’ were all propaganda campaigns.
In: Biology
if you take someone who has never eaten eggs and feed them eggs, you measure a cholesterol spike emediatly.
but after a month or so of eating eggs, the body has dialed back its cholesterol production to compensate so its not a problem in a long term diet.
The longer the study, the harder it is to get quality measurments, so often the emmediate effects get reported much earlier than the actually relevant long term effects
