bran. In spite of their diets, however, these hens produce eggs that contain the same amount of cholesterol as
regular eggs. Yet, the producers of these eggs claim that eating their eggs will not raise the blood cholesterol in
humans.
Egg producers claim that their product has been portrayed unfairly. They cite scientific studies to back
up their claim. And, in fact, studies on the relationships between eggs and human cholesterol levels have

brought mixed results. It may be that it is not the type of eggs that is the main determinant of cholesterol but the
person who is eating the eggs. Some people may be more sensitive to cholesterol derived from food than other
people. In fact, there is evidence that certain dietary fats stimulate the body’s production of blood cholesterol.
Consequently, while it is still makes sense to limit one’s intake of eggs, even designer eggs, it seems that doing
this without regulating dietary fats will probably not help reduce the blood cholesterol level.

A. to inform people about the relation between eggs and cholesterol

human consumption of cholesterol?
A. 1/3 B. 1/2 C. 2/3 D. 3/4
