Not everyone should treat two eggs a day as an automatic green light. People with diabetes should be more careful, because some research has found a possible link between seven eggs a week and higher heart-disease risk in diabetes. It also depends heavily on how the eggs are eaten. Eggs paired with vegetables, whole grains, and balanced meals create a very different nutritional picture from eggs regularly consumed alongside processed meats, deep-fried foods, and excess saturated fat.
People with high LDL cholesterol, a strong family history of cholesterol problems, or a clinician-advised low-cholesterol plan should also pay closer attention to the rest of their diet and to their own blood work. In other words, eggs are rarely the whole story; they are just one chapter in a much larger metabolic book.
