Today we’re going to talk about how consuming eggs and butter could potentially benefit your cholesterol.

However, keep in mind that if you have a genetic problem called familial hypercholesterolemia or if you are a hyper responder, this information will not apply.

Health benefits of cholesterol:
• It helps make hormones
• It helps make vitamin D
• It supports cell membranes
• It supports the brain
• It supports the immune system
• It’s needed to make bile salts

Egg yolks are one of the highest sources of cholesterol-mobilizing nutrients: choline and lecithin. One egg gives you about 186 mg of cholesterol. But, the body makes about 3000 mg of cholesterol a day.

Dietary cholesterol isn’t associated with increased cholesterol. There are also no studies that show that consuming eggs negatively affects the cardiovascular system.

In one study, they found that certain phytonutrients in eggs improved the cholesterol profile in a group of people on a low-carb diet.

Egg yolks are also loaded with vitamin K2, which supports a healthy heart.

Grass-fed butter also has an incredible influence over cholesterol, and if you can find cultured butter, then that’s even better. Cultured butter has the added benefit of friendly bacteria that help boost the benefits of butter.

Your friendly microbes make bile salts, which help mobilize and regulate cholesterol. Butter is also a good source of vitamin K2 and is great for anyone going through menopause because cholesterol is needed to support hormones.

One study shows that butter has a neutral association with cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Beta-carotene, which is high in butter, may also help lower cholesterol. Butter is also rich in CLA, butyric acid, and omega-3 fatty acids, which may benefit healthy cholesterol.

If you’re concerned about your cholesterol, certain things can potentially help lower cholesterol naturally, including:
• Exercise
• Vitamin B3 (niacin)
• Nattokinase
• Red yeast extract
• Bile salts

With the exception of one of my grandparents who died in their 60s from cancer (smoker), the other 3 lived to an average age of 97 (non-smokers). They ate bacon and eggs most mornings and cooked with butter and ate pretty much traditional stuff.

I’ve eaten eggs and butter all my life and relieved to learn this. Now I eat the grass fed and grass finish foods. Slowly gaining positive ground on healing my inflamed leaky gut. The intermittent and prolonged fasting really help the most! Thanks

This works, for 30 years I listened to the whole grains, mostly veges, no yolks, no red meat fat, no pork. My labs stunk, and all the time I exercised a lot. Plus sti) took lots of stations and BP meds. Nephrologist advised me to forget it all. Stopped all simple sugars and starches and wheat. Started whole eggs again, bacon, butter, sausage, chuck roast, etc. For carbs....colored veges. 60 % protein 20% meat fat & butter, 10% carbs. At 63, have best labs since early 20's.

Thank you, Dr. Berg! 👍

This is true...since I've been on Keto and started eating organic eggs and organic ghee butter daily, my cholesterol levels have been normal for the first time ever 🍳🧈

THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THE TRUTH. I have been fighting with my family members for over a decade about butter and eggs issues. I just knew it... because it makes me feel good.

Doc you first introduced me to Apple Cider Vinegar a few years ago and that helped me to lower my cholesterol naturally and got me off whatever meds I was being poisoned with at the time. ACV also helped me on my journey of weight loss! I buy a lot of farm eggs these days and thankfully in my parts of NC there is no egg shortage. Kerrygold butter is also a main in my diet and rocks my taste buds tremendously!
Thank you doc.

I'm a firm believer!! Back in 1999 I did the Atkins after having my daughter. I did it for 20yrs. Ate a lot of eggs & butter & doctors were shocked at how great my cholesterol levels were. My total cholesterol without fasting was 137. My triglycerides, hdl, & ldl were amazing.

[helios]

I been eating 5 eggs a day for over 30 years. No health problems.

[Sparkles]

My grandparents & gt aunts lived to mid-late 90’s. Ate butter, lard, eggs, cheese etc. no obesity whatsoever. Cheers Dr Berg, you are wonderful! 🍽🧀🧈🥚🍳🥩🥓I follow your advice religiously, I LOVE eggs, I’ve eaten them regularly for years. I’m 53, 130lbs, feel fab 👍🏻💪🏽

[vasantsande]

I'm 76 with no health problem of any kind so far. Still, I enjoy fast foods once
in awhile. Thank you Dr. Berg for comforting people.

I eat 6 fried eggs and pistachios for breakfast or lunch whenever I interment fasting everyday for the last few months. I’ve lost around 180 or more pounds since this time last year. My highest weight was probably around 430-450 range and I now weigh 262.

I eat lots of grass -fed butter daily and my triglycerides and cholesterol have always been low .Thanks Dr. Berg for another informative video !

[InTeCredo]

I have been eating eggs and grass-fed butter since I was kid, and my LDL cholesterol level remains very low to this day (I'm 56). My doctor found out what I ate and implored me to stop eating them because they were "unhealthy". Perhaps "unhealthy" for his bank account (they hoped that we would become dependent on them for prescriptions and frequent tests). So, I switched to the doctor who specialises in the functional medicine.

[dreysgarage]

I did keto for ~8 wks and did before/after cholesterol labs. I fried all my food in quality grass fed butter. I was eating eggs, bacon for brkfast and grass fed beef patties for dinner.
Before: HDL: 53
LDL: 98
Total cholesterol: 164
After: HDL: 56
LDL: 54 !!!! :)
Total cholesterol: 142

My good cholesterol was higher than my bad cholesterol! 👍 👍

I’m 62 years old. I lost 150lbs on Healthy Keto, thanks to Dr. Berg. I went from 321lbs to 170lbs in 2 years. I’ve been maintaining for another 2 years. My waist went from 60” to 35”. My lipid profile is: Total Cholesterol = 169, Triglycerides = 42,
HDL = 64, VLDL = 9, LDL = 96
I eat eggs almost everyday.

[pavlosshihanpavlidis]

It's good to remind the benefits of eggs and butter. I always make my eggs with butter and the taste is always amazing!! Nice Dr.B👍

[seidap]

This is so true. I used to follow a fairly standard American diet and over time I began to develop elevated LDL, low HDL, cholesterol ratios high enough to prompt warnings from my physician, and elevated triglycerides. Several years ago I switched to a keto(ish) diet with 16/8-18/6 intermittent fasting, 4+ eggs *every* day, grass-fed butter, avocados, nuts, quality meats, and all the other high-fat foods I thought I was supposed to avoid. And guess what? I built a lot more lean muscle, reduced my body fat down to 10-15%, cured the problematic eczema that had plagued me for years, and got my lipid numbers back to normal, healthy levels.

I remember my grandmother churning butter with her wooden churn. She would take the butter off and save the leftover milk (buttermilk) for both drinking and cooking. She never put her butter in the fridge, and I could not eat it because the taste was so strong. But I'll bet that was healthy stuff indeed.

[marcykerr]

Absolutely love butter and eggs, I always say "butter is better" . Thank you for your teaching and knowledge on Cholesterol. 🥚🥚🥚

[yankeerose]

I eat butter, bacon and eggs every single day, with a cup of coffee and I feel fabulous! I got my bloodwork done it was perfect Dr. Berg! ❤🌅
