Does eating too many eggs raise blood cholesterol?
You’ve probably heard numerous reports claiming that eggs are too high in cholesterol. But what studies show is that OXIDIZED cholesterol-not cholesterol itself-can cause atherosclerosis. That means that the longer and egg yolk is exposed to air the more potential it has to contribute to atherosclerosis. So, the best way to eat an egg is poached. hard boiled , or sunny side up. Avoid scrambled eggs because the air and heat can cause the cholesterol in the scrambled egg yolks to oxidize before you even have a chance to eat them.
