Yes, but, that's also where loads of cholesterol is. They aren't bad every once in a while, but the healthy person should have less than 300 mg of cholesterol a day, and too many yolks in one day or eating them every day can elevate cholesterol levels.
Yes and no.
"Concerned about the cholesterol in egg yolks? Worried about protecting your heart health? Egg yolks have long been maligned because of their cholesterol content, but cholesterol itself does not cause heart disease. In fact, while LDL, a major carrier of cholesterol in the blood, does have a role in heart disease, it is when poor metablism, deficient diets, and toxins destroy the LDL particle that heart disease develops."

Eat a couple of eggs a day! It's good for you.
Yepp, that is true! However, I didn't say heart disease, I said high cholesterol. Buttt, I agree that the yolks are still good for you, especially if your cholesterol is very good. Me, I will scramble, say, 3 egg whites and 1 whole egg so I can get the nutrients from it.0 -
I limit myself to no more than 2 yolk a day, but mainly because of the cholesterol. As far as egg whites go I'll have as many as needed whilst hitting macros surgically.0
