A medical student at Harvard University has completed an eggs-traordinary experiment in which he ate 720 eggs in a month to see how it would affect his cholesterol level – and the result might not be what you’d expect. Boston resident Nick Norwitz, 25, downed 24 eggs a day for one full month, eating omelets, deviled eggs, fried eggs and scrambled eggs, he says. "Eggs are a pretty versatile food, so making them in different ways made for a pretty pleasant experiment,” he says. “It wasn't that difficult." The results of the eggs-periment were nothing short of egg-citing. At the end of the month, Norwitz checked his cholesterol – and found it to be 20 percent lower than before he started. While the result might seem to go against everything doctors have told us, Norwitz says there’s a perfectly reasonable explanation for the phenomenon. He says once he started adding more carbs to his diet, his cholesterol levels dropped due to a metabolic shift. Source: Fox News
