Anecdotal, but I have to root for eggs whenever I get the chance. I've eaten at least 3 eggs a day every single day for almost a decade, before which I didn't stick to a number and would often eat 6-8 eggs a day. My doctor recently told my cholesterol was perfect. Maybe I'm an exception or maybe I have the right genes for eggs, no idea. But they're definitely not an automatic health disaster like many people think they are.

When you eat foods with cholesterol, it has little effect on your cholesterol levels because your cells make it by themselves, and the body will only absorb cholesterol if your levels are low. If you have good cholesterol levels, you can eat many eggs and your cholesterol wont go up. High cholesterol is caused from eating too many sugars and starches which causes an insulin spike that tells the cells to make more cholesterol even when they don't need it.
