Daily Eggs May Raise LDL in Hyper-Responders, Lifting Heart Risk

Summary
A subset of people labeled “hyper-responders” can see LDL cholesterol rise significantly with daily egg consumption, making an otherwise common breakfast a potential heart risk.
Experts say the concern is not eggs alone but how individual bodies handle dietary cholesterol; for most people, saturated fats still have a bigger effect on LDL.
Higher-risk profiles include people with high cholesterol, heart disease or a genetic predisposition to dyslipidemia, especially when daily eggs come with sedentary habits, stress or poor diets.
Specialists do not call for eliminating eggs, but recommend boiling or poaching them, pairing them with vegetables and fiber, and moderating frequency for people with cardiovascular risk.
