How many eggs are safe to eat per day if you're trying to lower your cholesterol? I've searched around online but I see several contradicting views on the matter.
In February the gubmint said cholesterol from food isn't as bad as they previously had thought, is that true?
For now I've limited myself to 1 egg a day, 3 days a week max because my LDL is slightly higher than normal (135, should be under 130 doc says)
Anyone else watching cholesterol?

If it's one of your only sources then I think you could eat a lot and be fine. Granted I'm the furthest thing from a nutritionist. so don't even take me seriously. I love eggs and go stretches where I'll have at least 2 daily and I'm a fairly healthy person.

Over 80% of the cholesterol is made by our livers anyway and dietary cholesterol has no effect on serum cholesterol.
Besides cholesterol isn't some bogeyman and doesn't cause cardiovascular disease. It's a much more complicated issue than that. The most important factor from what I have read are blood triglycerides, of course also LDL and HDL ratios along with particle size which is measured by apolipoproteins.
Eating cholesterol heavy foods will spike blood cholesterol levels a bit but will quickly return to normal levels. Saturated fats will raise your levels a bit, as well, but excess consumption of sugar is much worse. If you're really worried about direct cholesterol ingestion, you can use less whole eggs and more egg whites.

Hypercholesterolemia has a strong genetic component. Also, just because your lipid levels are fine now doesn't mean that will always be the case.

Eating more egg white is bad if you are trying to eat healthy. It's just pure protein which your liver just grinds into glucose and spikes up your insulin levels and leads to atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease. Fat and fiber dampen the insulin response.
This whole idea is just fucked anyway. Humans have been eating real food like eggs, meat, vegetables, roots and so forth for thousands of years.
Then humans start to eat processed shit like white flour, pasta, sugar, processed lunch meats and the like and start to get heart attacks, obesity, diabetes and other diseases.
The conclusion? It was the eggs. lol at this stupidity. It's not even backed by science.

About 100g of oats is a good amount of eggs per day to lower cholesterol

I'm not saying you're wrong, but pre-modern humans should not be held up as models of health and nutrition. The reason that so few of them had the "diseases of affluence" was because the diagnostic standards were much poorer and people usually died of communicable diseases and infection before the cancer, heart disease and diabetes got to them.

Yeah, cholesterol problems run rampant on my dads side of the family.
I've been eating a lot more fibrous foods, like vegetables and fruits. I've also switched to fish for most of my meat consumption.

Dietary cholesterol intake =/= blood levels of cholesterol
