Hi Vince & Deuce, Glad you brought up the egg/cholesterol point. I'm sure we're all used to hearing the different recommendations and sources and even the particular decade's in-fashion perspective on cholesterol. Without going into the facts and still-uncertain beliefs, I will say there is a massive misunderstanding of cholesterol and even LDL for that matter. We oversimplify the "good-" and "bad-ness" of those hormones and proteins.
Funny thing about eggs-- As for my own experience, I normally swear by the approach that so much can be solved through diet, but I was raised vegetarian and now eat more omnivorously (is that a word?). I found old blood tests to compare, and guess what, I have *always* had slightly above normal range total cholesterol, slightly above normal range LDL, and slightly below normal HDL. That's whether I was vegetarian, eating eggs regularly, or omitting eggs. Therefore I became a believer that it is largely genetic (at least in my case).
I will say though that I experimented with a particular supplement (yes, I know what I said earlier about supplements ;-)) which massively dropped my triglycerides, lowered my cholesterol and LDL, and raised my HDL-- Berberine. But I actually felt worse and was weaker in the gym haha!
