A few years ago,
health organizations issued a warning about the cholesterol found in eggs.
Like many other foods such as coconut oil or avocado, eggs are wrongly considered unhealthy.
While an average large egg offers between 180 and 186 mg of cholesterol, the liver alone produces between 1,000 and 2,000 mg per day.
Basically, when you consume foods containing cholesterol, the liver regulates itself by reducing its own production. This means that eating eggs does not increase the amount of cholesterol that exists in your body, you simply replace one type with another. Today
