Overview

  • He documented eating 720 eggs in 30 days—about 133,200 milligrams of dietary cholesterol—in a video posted on YouTube.
  • He reports his LDL fell by about 2% in the first two weeks and a further 18% over the next two weeks, with overall levels largely unchanged.
  • He researches ketogenic nutrition at Harvard and previously earned a PhD in metabolism from the University of Oxford in 2021.
  • German outlets including BILD and WAZ amplified the video and noted research suggesting genetics and hepatic LDL receptors often outweigh short-term dietary effects on blood levels.
  • Medical voices caution that the N=1, short, uncontrolled trial is not peer-reviewed, that highly one-sided eating is not advisable, and that outcomes depend on accompanying foods.
