| Eggs and Cholesterol | |   by Malcom Kendrick, M.D. and Duane Graveline, M.D.
According to the U.S. Government's latest guidelines, one egg per day does not result in increased blood cholesterol levels. Nor does it increase the risk of cardiovascular disease in normal people. What it might have said is that 12 eggs per day will not increase your blood cholesterol or have a significant impact on cardiovascular risk.

Foods containing cholesterol don't raise blood cholesterol for several reasons. Read the full article here:

The evidence continues to mount that there's no benefit and probable harm from a low fat diet.
With doctors and medical establishments recommending the elimination of saturated fat, nutritionists and other authors repeating the phrase "artery clogging saturated fats" the media certainly follows and we have formed a deep ingrained belief that saturated fat is evil and unhealthy.
The evidence against saturated fat has always been circumstantial. That is, saturated fat was said to elevate blood cholesterol and elevated blood cholesterol was said to cause heart disease, therefore saturated fat would cause heart disease.
