Does boiled egg cause clogged arteries?
It is not accurate to say that boiled eggs “cause clogged arteries” on their own; risk depends on overall diet quality and an individual’s metabolic profile. Eggs provide high-quality protein, several vitamins, and choline. Some individuals may be more sensitive to dietary cholesterol, so consuming very large amounts daily may not be ideal for everyone. The strongest drivers of cardiovascular risk are typically trans fats, ultra-processed foods, smoking, inactivity, and uncontrolled blood pressure or LDL cholesterol. The heart-friendly approach to eggs is about context: cooking method and what you eat them with. Boiled eggs paired with vegetables and whole grains are different from eggs fried in butter and combined with processed meats. If you have high cholesterol or established cardiovascular disease, egg frequency should be individualized with a clinician or dietitian. Balance and pattern matter more than one item.
