Does eating eggs increase the risk of you getting a heart attack?

This year, I read a post on social media that said eggs are not healthy for you.  One of the concerns mentioned is that eggs may increase the risk of someone getting a heart attack due to the cholesterol in them.

An article published in the Harvard Health Letter says that is not the case.  Anthony Komaroff, the author of the article, states that "For most people, an egg a day does not increase your risk of a heart attack, a stroke, or any other type of cardiovascular disease."  This evidence was found from multiple studies that have encompassed hundreds of thousands of people.  The author goes on to mention that the saturated fat in butter, which is often used in egg recipes, raises blood cholesterol more than the cholesterol in the egg.

However, the article warns that for people who have heart disease or are at high risk for developing heart disease, no more than three eggs per week is recommended.

In conclusion, if your health is in check, then eating eggs will not harm you.  Just be mindful of the other ingredients you use in your egg recipes.
