  Eggs have an undeserved reputation of raising blood cholesterol to dangerous levels, but the fact is eggs by themselves don’t cause this since the average egg only has 210 mg of cholesterol. The American Heart Association confirms this, and they even recommend that those with normal blood cholesterol can consume 1-2 eggs for their daily protein needs.

  Dr. Kavita

  Well, that depends if you are using conventional medications for controlling your cholesterol. Grapefruit has a property of blocking absorption of Statins, (a class of drugs used for cholesterol control). This can prove to be quite dangerous, because these statins begin to pile up in the body without getting absorbed and can lead to side effects that are characteristic of statin drug overdose.
