The key finding from this study is the consumption of 12 or more fortified eggs per week, over a period of 4 months, did not negatively impact cholesterol — specifically LDL cholesterol (commonly known as “bad cholesterol”) or HDL (commonly known as “the good cholesterol”) – when compared to patients who had a non-egg supplemented diet.
