Chris Kresser has appeared on the Joe Rogan Experience several times. On that show and on his blog which maintains a large readership, he has systematically misrepresented the evidence in health science. He has over 100K Twitter followers and a large readership.
In this video, I detail how one article that he wrote grossly misrepresents scientific evidence to claim that saturated fat intake does not raise blood cholesterol levels.
This took me hours to research and then film. Even then, it is imperfect. Addressing misinformation is onerous. I cannot address all of Chris's misinformation, because there is so much, and demonstrating it takes so much time. But this video gives a flavor for it. I hope that this video can persuade you to think twice before believing some of the claims of Chris Kresser.

![Eggs, cholesterol, and health
It is now widely accepted that eggs have no meaningful impact on blood cholesterol levels. Dietary cholesterol is said not to impact blood cholesterol.
But is this true?
The impact of eggs on dietary cholesterol—and health—really depends on background diet and genetics.
Now, it’s true that the impact of dietary cholesterol on blood cholesterol is quite modest [1], and it only impacts about 20-30% of the population [2]. But, on the other hand, almost nobody knows whether they are in that 20-30%, so some caution might be warranted in those who are pursuing optimal health and find their LDL cholesterol levels a little high.
In the context of unhealthy diets, eggs actually seem to produce benefit, since they replace less healthy foods.
But in the context of healthier diets, eggs may be slightly harmful, by displacing healthier foods that have a lower impact on dietary cholesterol.
Overall, the impact of eggs on health seems quite heterogeneous and may depend on the baseline diet: more healthy diets may seem more harm if eggs are incorporated, and vice versa [3,4].
If LDL cholesterol is a little high, and diet quality is otherwise excellent, it might be advisable to try replacing the eggs with another source of protein that is lower in dietary cholesterol.
Ideally, this should be done using a lipid test to look at before and after values of blood LDL cholesterol.
