Those people who are afraid of eating cholesterol may take interest in
this study. Apparently, eating eggs (2 eggs per day in one group) did
not significantly increase cholesterol or any of its components.

Egg consumption and endothelial function: a randomized controlled
crossover trial.

BACKGROUND: Because of egg cholesterol content, reduction in egg
consumption is generally recommended to reduce risk of cardiovascular
disease. Recently, however, evidence has been accumulating to suggest
that dietary cholesterol is less relevant to cardiovascular risk than
dietary saturated fat.
There is mention of saturated fat though.
Yes, you are right, but it has very little with what they actually
tried. It's a passing mention.
For more fun, check this out. They say an interesting thing, that low
carb diet improves cholesterol and triglycerides in diabetics, "but
this was at the expense of an increase in relative saturated fat
intake". One has to wonder as to just why "increase in relative
saturated fat intake" is an "expense" if it improved condition of
those diabetics. Oh well.
In their secret hearts, they know saturated fats are bad ...... (and
somehow, cholesterol has got to be bad too) Anyway, everybody knows that:..

unprofessional."
Short-term effects of severe dietary carbohydrate-restriction advice in Type 2 diabetes--a randomized controlled trial.

OBJECTIVE: This study sought to examine the effects of a 3-month
programme of dietary advice to restrict carbohydrate intake compared
with reduced-portion, low-fat advice in obese subjects with poorly
controlled Type 2 diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: One hundred
and two patients with Type 2 diabetes were recruited across three
centres and randomly allocated to receive group education and
individual dietary advice. Weight, glycaemic control, lipids and blood
pressure were assessed at baseline and 3 months. Dietary quality was
assessed at the end of study. RESULTS: Weight loss was greater in the
low-carbohydrate (LC) group (-3.55 +/- 0.63, mean +/- sem) vs. -0.92
+/- 0.40 kg, P = 0.001) and cholesterol : high-density lipoprotein
(HDL) ratio improved (-0.48 +/- 0.11 vs. -0.10 +/- 0.10, P =
0.01). However, relative saturated fat intake was greater (13.9 +/-
0.71 vs. 11.0 +/- 0.47% of dietary intake, P 0.001), although
absolute intakes were moderate. CONCLUSIONS: Carbohydrate restriction
was an effective method of achieving short-term weight loss compared
with standard advice, but this was at the expense of an increase in
relative saturated fat intake.
