O-85
statement
In PURE (n=114,615 with lipids), >=7 vs <1 egg/week showed no association with total cholesterol (4.89 vs 4.90 mmol/L), LDL-C (3.08 vs 3.07), HDL-C (1.20 vs 1.21), TC:HDL ratio (4.30 vs 4.27) or ApoB:ApoA1 (all P-trend >0.20), while higher intake was associated with lower systolic and diastolic blood pressure (both P-trend <0.0001); dietary cholesterol was likewise unassociated with blood lipids.

Results; Table 2

Adjusted means across egg categories are essentially flat for every lipid fraction. The only lipid-related signals are directionally favourable (lower BP), i.e. no adverse metabolic effect of higher egg intake in this cohort.
