I suppose anything is possible but why would it go down right after I had my blood tested?
I edited my original post to include the following correction: I had been eating 3 eggs per week as an experiment to see what changes, if any, might occur. So after my LDL went up to 100, I stopped eating the eggs.
But, as I said, it was only 3 eggs per week (1 on Mon., Tue. and Wed.) Being essentially a vegan, I kind of doubt that alone would account for the large decline in LDL. Some even say that dietary cholesterol is not a factor in raising cholesterol. I think it could be a factor if someone eats an excessive amount of cholesterol. But I don't consider 3 eggs per week to be excessive.
