Your Trig to HDL ratio is perfectly healthy at 0.9, this ratio is a better indicator of risk than just LDL readings, stop worrying unless of course you are overweight or smoke but lipids are fine

Thank you. I don't smoke or eat meat. My weight is fine. I still am curious about the egg thing though?

Some people respond to foods containing cholesterol by showing increased blood levels, I think 20% has been quoted as food cholesterol responders but IMO the important thing is what happens to those HDL and Trig levels along with the LDL size of LDL cholesterol. If you want to put your mind at rest get a full Lipid panel test which shows LDL size, APO B APO A and Lp(a) levels

Yes, I do eat eggs. They have never done me any harm yet, so I will carry on doing so.

I assume you mean your cholesterol has not been raised by this. That's great to hear. I love eggs, and as a pescatarian, they have been important in my diet.
