Eggs are off the hook–study reveals bacon's the real heart risk

Eggs have anywhere from 1.25–2g of saturated fat each. The bacon is what, 2.5–4g of saturated fat per slice? I may be slightly off. Regardless, we know saturated fat reduces endogenous cholesterol regulation, and leads to increased blood cholesterol levels. Eggs aren't off the hook because they still contain saturated fat.

There are also people who are 'hyper-responders' to dietary cholesterol, and their endogenous cholesterol regulation is further reduced by dietary cholesterol. So, these people really do need to be careful when including eggs in their diet. It's not even that small of a cohort of the population, as I recall.

Caveat: I don't know anything about this stuff

by the way, was told by a doctor the other day "sitting is the new smoking"... (so move around with that standing desk)
