A soon-to-be medical doctor ate an astonishing total of 720 eggs over the course of just one month and shared what happened to his body. The results defied the common belief that eggs, especially the yolk, negatively affect cholesterol levels and cause heart problems. Hundreds of people were baffled by the new findings.
Nick Norwitz, a doctorate student at Harvard University, ate the equivalent of 24 eggs per day, or over 133,000 mg of dietary cholesterol, during the month-long experiment.
Taking to his YouTube page earlier this month, Dr. Norwitz revealed that following his experiment, his low-density lipoprotein (LDL) levels, otherwise known as “bad” cholesterol, fell by 18%.
