The risk associated with eating too many eggs differs among individuals. Factors that could influence how many eggs you can safely eat per day include: genetics; how you prepare your eggs; other foods you eat; your overall health. [...] current guidance focuses on maintaining healthy blood cholesterol levels, rather than setting a specific limit for dietary cholesterol intake, since individual responses can vary.
