the LDL-C:HDL-C ratio did not change during the intervention

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.
