O-98 - LDL-C and the LDL-HDL ratio did not change with egg intake, including in dietary-cholesterol hyper-absorbers
Despite 640 mg/day added dietary cholesterol, LDL-C did not rise and the atherogenic LDL:HDL ratio was preserved - and this held across cholesterol-absorption phenotypes, arguing the average egg lipid response is not offset by an LDL penalty.

Why this is evidence
LDL and the LDL:HDL ratio preserved even in hyper-absorbers is exactly H-40, and directly contradicts H-34’s linear LDL rise and H-20’s comparator-relative worsening.
