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
