2. Cholesterol
There are two types of cholesterol. LDL (“bad”) and HDL (“good”). According to the USDA, a large egg contains about 186 mg of cholesterol and a small egg 141 mg. The latest research repeatedly shows that eggs do not negatively affect the cholesterol levels in the blood. Eggs actually raise HDL levels and increase the size of small LDL to make them more benign. (Fried egg in image)
