Please elaborate and include recent peer-reviewed science showing that dietary cholesterol above the FDA allowance is strongly implicated in cardiovascular disease within timeframes of ~1 year as you suggest.
Relax bro, you've been trolled. That guy is pretending to be the old me, and pretending to parrot my viewpoints (which he is not).
It is indeed accepted that dietary cholesterol has much less of an impact on blood cholesterol than does sat fat intake. Also, some foods with cholesterol, such as eggs and shrimp, are considered to be overall healthy food and of positive nutritive value. Therefore, the thinking is indeed that these foods need not be avoided.
However.......those with naturally high total and ldl cholesterol levels, would still be advised to not eat lots of dietary cholesterol, as there is, in general, some impact on blood cholesterol values (they are raised). Furthermore, there are people know as hyper-responders that will see their blood cholesterol values increase when they add a lot of dietary cholesterol to their diets, while others do not respond in this manner. So, if you are already have high cholesterol, or are a known "hyper-responder" to dietary cholesterol, adding lots of eggs to your diet is likely not a good idea.
Hope that clears things up for you. Let me know if I can be of further help.
