I suspect there is a bimodal distribution here.

Eggs are perfectly fine if you don't have a genetic predisposition to high cholesterol.

My genes are bad though for this so eating a 180mg of cholesterol an egg is kind of foolish. If I want to raise my cholesterol on a blood test, I can't think of anything better than eating a ton of eggs. Of course not all the cholesterol is absorbed but if even 10% is 18mg an egg I don't need.

Personally, I quit eating cheese and eggs to avoid having to be on a statin. It has worked so for on a blood test.
