High cholesterol intake and eggs do not increase risk of memory disorders

https://www.sciencedaily.com/releas...70109093015.htm Similar headline from last year (also some of the same names on the research team, same university). With the same punchline--do not generalize beyond these levels. To me, this means do not assume that more cholesterol than that 520 mg a day is safe--but also don't assume that it's dangerous. Quote:

It never was real science!

Nice to hear. I like eggs and I always want to remember that.

For those with the APOE4 gene variant, great news! I've often wondered how much of an actual health risk is the higher cholesterol levels in those with APOE4. While it's still an epidemiological study, the findings are encouraging.
Now to go cook some eggs . . . . |
Not very many eggs...

One egg a day yields relatively high intake of cholesterol?? I normally consume 3 or 4 eggs a day! :yum: |
It's all BS. Fat is our friend when it comes to our brain.
You know what's causing the epidemic of Alzheimer's and dementia? I think (and I'm not alone) it is the double whammy of low fat and statins. Not eggs. |
As a person with probable APOE4 this sort of thing interests me. I also wonder how much of an actual health risk my high cholesterol might be, but answers seem pretty hard to come by. Saturated fat definitely elevates already high LDL significantly higher, but a low saturated fat (based on olive oil, nuts etc.) drops HDL into the basement and saturated fat brings it back up. Doctor of course wants to drug down my LDL with things that have little or no benefit but plenty of devastating side effects, so I consistently decline. Since HDL and LDL for me move up and down in lock-step together depending on the amount of saturated dietary fat (haven't yet found a way to make one go up and the other down), until more information is known I'm currently going for higher HDL hoping that's the more important one to target. That said, I really appreciate this study being posted here because I was wondering if I'd have to cut out cholesterol/eggs, too.
