The problem with eggs isn't the cholesterol, it's the Poison/"Vitamin A"

I have never been, nor will I ever be, an anti-cholesterol nut.  High cholesterol is a symptom of something else wrong in the system.  Again, it is a symptom of SOMETHING ELSE.

Two things.  Most of your cholesterol is made by your liver.  The main storage areas of Poison/"Vitamin A" is the liver.  The storage forms of Poison/"Vitamin A known as retinyl esters, are toxic by themselves in that state.  One of the pathways the body tries to RID itself of excess Poison/"Vitamin A" is by turning some of it into cholesterol in the liver.  Are you seeing a connection yet?

To be clear before I post the next research, the Egg Nutrition Board themselves state that eggs contain both carotenoids (lutein and zeaxanthin) and retinoids.

If you've been around this blog-forum at all, you would already know that I associated high Poison/"Vitamin A" foods and human chronic disease.  An interesting study just came out:

Associations of Dietary Cholesterol or Egg Consumption With Incident Cardiovascular Disease and Mortality

Conclusions and Relevance  Among US adults, higher consumption of dietary cholesterol or eggs was significantly associated with higher risk of incident CVD and all-cause mortality in a dose-response manner.

Higher intakes of Poison/"Vitamin A" have been shown to calcify the heart.

Retinoic acid, the end-product of all Poison/"Vitamin A" that comes into the body, has been found to be higher in failing human hearts, and the pharmaceutical form has been shown to cause heart problems as a side effect.

I hope you can see the connections.
