The Claim
In overweight adults following a healthy low-carbohydrate diet, replacing refined grains and added sugars with eggs results in substantial increases in dietary cholesterol intake without worsening blood lipid profiles over a 12-month period.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
If you're overweight and eating a low-carb diet, swapping out bread and sugar for eggs will bump up your cholesterol intake from food—but your blood fats won't get worse after a year.
