Considerations: Cholesterol and Saturated Fat

1. Dietary cholesterol isn’t a major concern for most people.
   A boiled egg contains about 186 mg of cholesterol, mostly in the yolk. Research shows that dietary cholesterol has minimal impact on blood cholesterol levels in most people. The 2020-2025 U.S. Dietary Guidelines no longer limit dietary cholesterol, but recommend moderate consumption.
   However,
   people with type 2 diabetes, familial hypercholesterolemia, or a history of heart disease may need to limit their egg yolk intake. In this case, it’s advisable to talk to your doctor.

2. Hard-boiled eggs may be a better choice than fried eggs.
   Boiling avoids the addition of saturated fats and oxidized oils, which can damage blood vessels. Hard-boiled eggs are therefore healthier for the heart than eggs fried in butter or processed fats.
