I get that the point is inflation, but why eggs? If they went to $12/dozen, it would cost me like $4 extra dollars per week.

      Yet there are nutritional and behavioral actions that significantly affect blood cholesterol level and proportions.

      Eggs are a great example, my understanding:

      • eggs have a lot of cholesterol
      • cholesterol is mostly broken down when you eat eggs - however is also a significant source of saturated fat
      • liver “balances” blood cholesterol by making it and digesting it
      • saturated fats, such as from eggs, increase liver production of cholesterol
