Nick Norwitz, a doctoral student at Harvard University, ate 24 eggs every day for a month to conduct an experiment. In this way, he/she ate 720 eggs in a month to see its effect on his/her body. Then its shocking results came out which surprised people.

Actually, experts believe that eating too many eggs has a bad effect on health. Cholesterol level increases in those who eat eggs daily and due to this many types of heart related problems start occurring. Nick proved this notion wrong by eating 720 eggs in a month just to find out the effect of eating eggs daily on the body. (Image source: nicknorwitz)

Post by Dr. Norwitz who experimented with eating 720 eggs

Who is Nick Norwitz?

Dr. Norwitz holds a PhD in Human Brain Development from the University of Oxford. he/she posted the results of his/her experiment on YouTube and his/her video was viewed more than 170,000 times.

In this video he/she told about his/her diet plan. he/she also showed 40 cardboard boxes of eggs in his/her room which he/she had eaten in a month. (Image source: nicknorwitz)

Why did you do this experiment?

Dr. Norwitz says, I knew that if I ate an egg every hour every day for a month, my low density lipoprotein (LDL) or bad cholesterol would reduce. To find out this he/she did this food experiment.

Used to take 60 grams of carbs every day

In his/her video, he/she did not tell what else he/she ate every day apart from eggs or what was his/her daily exercise routine. But he/she did say that after the first two weeks, he/she consumed 60 grams of carbohydrates every day, which was equivalent to two bananas and 21 ounces of blueberries.

Bad cholesterol (LDL) decreased instead of increasing.

Dr. Norwitz said that approximately 133,200 mg of cholesterol is found in 720 eggs. But even after eating so many eggs, my cholesterol did not increase.

he/she said that the amount of cholesterol in my diet increased five times but my LDL cholesterol decreased instead of increasing.

Scientists had warned

Many scientists and doctors had warned that eating too many eggs increases LDL levels and causes health problems. In fact, cholesterol gets deposited in the arteries as plaque which causes heart diseases and stroke.

But Dr. Norwitz found in his/her experiment that after eating 720 eggs for a month, his/her LDL level decreased by 18 percent.

How was this possible?

Some scientists believe this may be due to the release of a hormone called cholesin, which is caused by cholesterol binding to receptors on intestinal cells.

This signals the liver to make less LDL. In the comment section of the video, people have praised Dr. Norwitz for his/her study.
