Harvard Student’s 720-Egg Experiment Challenges Cholesterol Myths

A bold experiment by Harvard PhD student Nick Norwitz, consuming 720 eggs in one month, challenges the conventional wisdom about eggs and cholesterol. Despite ingesting 133,200 mg of cholesterol, Norwitz experienced an 18% drop in LDL cholesterol, sparking renewed discussions among nutritionists about the health implications of egg consumption. This surprising outcome may lead to a reevaluation of eggs as a dietary staple and highlights the complexity of nutritional science.
