If eggs are paired with a source of saturated fat, usually animal sources like butter, bacon or sausage, it will raise the markers of bad cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL), in the blood. Eggs would be better paired with unsaturated fat sources like olive oil or avocado to reduce plaque build-up in the arteries.
