Your body is likely manufacturing 70-80% of your actual cholesterol content. I think cholesterol concerns have been debunked, or at least severely downgraded, since they became a big deal in the 1980's.

> Just look at their nutrient profile for proof: 1 egg nets you 70+% of your daily saturated fat recommendation ...

The fat recommendations you're citing are presumably coming from places like the USA's FDA -- which famously pushed the 'fat makes you fat' lie for many decades, directing citizens to consume increasing amounts of sugar instead, resulting in one of the most spectacular, and depressing, natural experiments that has proven this thinking to be literally fatally flawed.

I would like to add something. I am from India and I am seeing the results of Fat makes you fat principle peddled by doctors on the population. Before the introduction of "Americanised" version of food and US FDA dietary regulations(Docs in India follow the US FDA regulations), we had animal fats like Ghee, Butter, Panner, cream made from milk. Now the docs told remove these and told everyone to eat more Carbs. Well people started more eating more Carbs. Guess what they choose more and more processed cereals rather than greens. Now we have Type 2 Diabetes epidemic in India. People are not as fat as Americans but are skinny fat and have belly fat and all metabolic diseases. And the bad advice continues.

"Back then, we knew that egg yolks had lots of cholesterol, and we knew that high levels of LDL (bad) cholesterol in the blood increased the risk of cardiovascular disease. So it seemed logical that avoiding cholesterol in the diet made sense.

Since then, however, research has shown that most of the cholesterol in our body is made by our liver-it doesn't come from cholesterol we eat. The liver is stimulated to make cholesterol primarily by saturated fat and trans fat in our diet, not dietary cholesterol. But a large egg contains little saturated fat-about 1.5 grams (g). And research has confirmed that eggs also contain many healthy nutrients: lutein and zeaxanthin, which are good for the eyes; choline, which is good for the brain and nerves; and various vitamins (A, B, and D). In fact, just one large egg contains 270 international units (IU) of vitamin A and 41 IU of vitamin D. One large egg also contains about 6 g of protein and 72 calories.

The evidence that eating an egg a day is safe for most people comes from huge studies-many conducted here at Harvard Medical School-that have followed hundreds of thousands of people over decades."

Considering eggs a problem for that (their cholesterol content) is like having a program that takes 20 minutes to run, and trying to optimize a routine that only accounts for 5 seconds of the overall time.

Most of the studies that have claimed to show that diet doesn't raise cholesterol have involved populations of people that already have abnormally high cholesterol from a bad diet (i.e. the typical American).

Edit: You've now corrected this to 10%, but even that is based upon a very cautious RDA for saturated fat.

Also, consuming 9 eggs by themselves would not cause you overdose on selenium either - the RDA for selenium is between 55-135mg (again, depending on source), whilst the overdose threshold for it is believed to be around 400mg. However, an egg contains around 15mg of selenium - so whilst consuming 9 of them would put you over or at your RDA, it is not an overdose, since the RDA is a recommendation, not a limit.

A 920g container has 500 calories, 100g of protein, zero fat, zero saturated fat, zero trans fat, zero carbs, zero cholesterol.

Most people are not trying to minmax their nutrient intake. The numbers you give seem to make eggs a useful component of a healthy, varied diet.

Nitpick: eggs don't have mothers because eggs are not offspring.

Scientifically, healthy-unhealthy food does not exist. There's no health scale. Everything depends on the context.

If your blood results and other health information is stable, whatever you're eating isn't doing you any harm, then that's a healthy lifestyle.

Trying to divide foods into healthy and unhealthy is impossible.

>Trying to divide foods into healthy and unhealthy is impossible.

They don't try to "divide foods into healthy and unhealthy". They try to divide diets of food, including amounts and limits, into healthy and unhealthy.

You cannot say that strawberries are the healthiest food, just like you cannot say eggs are not healthy.

The study contradicts what you wrote in your comment above -- I never claimed it supports what I tell you in my comment below it, which touches on another aspect.

Unlike strawberries where relationship is linear, unlike many other vegetables. Put a healthy exercising population and the correlation disappears, I guess foods are no longer healthy in that case.

Eating 1 egg per day for the average member of the measured population seems to be healthy. It does not mean eggs by themselves are healthy or unhealthy.
