Eggs are now officially healthy

(OP) The science behind eggs being healthy, or at least not harmful for heart health, has been pretty settled for decades.

Unfortunately, official medical guidelines take a while to catch up. It's only in 2026 that the American Heart Association put out updated dietary guidance which makes it official that most people shouldn't limit dietary cholesterol. Fiber and saturated fat are more important drivers of blood cholesterol, which is still recommended as a major risk factor (alongside blood pressure, inflammation, HbA1c, and so on).

The post also tries to explain why there was a limitation on eggs and cholesterol in the first place, starting from the 1968 guidelines.
