Eggs don’t raise cholesterol to dangerous levels :

Eggs do not typically cause high cholesterol for most people. While eggs are high in dietary cholesterol, the cholesterol in eggs does not have a significant impact on blood cholesterol levels. In fact, research suggests that eating eggs, even up to one per day, does not increase heart disease risk in healthy individuals.


Eating fat or fatty foods doesn’t make you fat or fatter … its sugar / sugars and carbohydrates that are converted and stored as fats in our bodies

It’s not too long ago that the BBC series Sugar Free Farm were recommending we all cooked/ fried food in lard or beef dripping

Sooooo carbohydrates (including sugars) can be converted into fat for storage when the body doesn't need them for immediate energy or when it's already stored its maximum amount of glycogen (the storage form of glucose).
This process, called lipogenesis, involves the liver converting glucose into fatty acids, which are then stored in fat cells.

As regards salt .. I can’t recall hearing of anyone who’s been told to cut out salt altogether when it was commonplace decades ago

In fact one of my closest friends had a triple bipass 6 years ago and now needs a further operation on two arteries - nobody has EVER mentioned anything about salt to him
