Eating foods with cholesterol won't raise your chances of heart problems if you're a generally healthy person, according to recent research reviews.

Eating foods that contain cholesterol—like eggs or shrimp—won't make a healthy person more likely to get heart disease.

Eating foods with cholesterol doesn't really affect your chances of getting heart disease, according to many big studies over many years.

Eating foods with cholesterol doesn't seem to make you more likely to die from heart disease, according to a big study that followed thousands of American adults for almost 8 years.

When you eat more cholesterol, both your bad and good cholesterol go up together, so the balance between them stays the same—and that balance matters more than the total amount.

In places where people eat more cholesterol from food, more people tend to die from heart disease over 25 years — it’s not proof one causes the other, but they often go together.
