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.

It’s extremely difficult to have a controlled long-term dietary study. People eat tons of different foods that can interfere with the studies results, so it’s nearly impossible to perfectly control for variables and see the effects of individual foods. Also, people lie a lot about what they eat, or are just bad at keeping track.
On top of that, studies are frequently funded by industries trying to force a certain outcome that benefits their industry.
