According to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), saturated fat — not cholesterol in foods — is more responsible for increasing harmful LDL cholesterol. Eggs are actually high in HDL (“good”) cholesterol, which helps protect your heart.

👉 Verdict: Daily egg consumption is generally safe unless you have specific health conditions.
