    Eggs are really good and I like them. But when I had My CHOLESTEROL levels checked and My LDL (BAD) was borderline, I began to TRACK among other things My Cholesterol Intake... Do you know that the MAX Cholesterol per day is 300 mg, and that ONE SMALL EGG has 260 mg!!! SO, YOU decide what is BEST for YOU; I now eat EGG WHITES, this is where all of the Protein is, as well as what is needed for Baking and binding. So what good is the "Yoke/embryo" for health and culinary purposes?

    Dietary cholesterol has a marginal impact on blood cholesterol. In fact, egg (whole) have been found to actually decrease LDL.

    Dietary cholesterol has a marginal impact on blood cholesterol for most people. For some it has a significant impact.
