The Truth About Cholesterol + Bacon Egg Cups Recipe

Many people are under the misconception that eating eggs leads to high cholesterol levels in the body. This couldn’t be further from the truth.

In fact, you couldn’t possibly consume the amount of cholesterol in a day that you needed to stay alive. Therefore, your liver actually synthesizes it.

That being said, high cholesterol levels in the body are not from cholesterol rich foods. It’s due to inflammation from a diet full of grains, sugars and processed foods. So, increasing healthy fats in your diet will help lower the inflammation in your body, which will ultimately lower your cholesterol levels.

I actually eat 3 over easy eggs from our local organic farm every morning for breakfast. However, because that can sometimes get boring, I also like to change things up with this Bacon Egg Cups Recipe.

Enjoy!
