Several potential reasons for the lack of an overall association between egg consumption and coronary heart disease or stroke re considered in teh discussion. Although dietary cholesterol influences plasma concentrations of serum cholesterol, the effects are relatively small. In addition, epidemiologic studies have found weak or little association between dietary cholesterol intake and cardiovascular disease risk. For now we can relax our restriction on eggs.
