He ate 700 eggs in one month: Here’s what happened to his body
24 eggs a day
Times change, of course, and so does the general consensus of health experts. These days there are those who argue that cholesterol isn’t as dangerous as previously advertised. Since I’m not a doctor I won’t sit here and tell you it’s perfectly fine to ingest 24 eggs a day (don’t try it at home, please), but in fairness to Dr. Norwitz, his experiment revealed some interesting data.
As per the good doctor’s YouTube channel, his cholesterol levels did not exhibit the expected spike after he had consumed a whopping 720 eggs in just one month.
Delving into the science behind the results, Dr. Norwitz explained that the regulation of cholesterol synthesis by the liver is influenced by dietary intake, and that after he introduced additional carbs to his diet, his LDL levels appeared to balance out.
“The extra dose of carbs dominated over the insane amounts of cholesterol I was consuming,” he explained, as per the New York Post.
Norwitz then chose fruits such as blueberries, bananas and strawberries, to eat in the final two weeks of his experiment, resulting in the aforementioned dramatic drop.
