Is it okay to eat egg whites every day?

I know eating the whole egg is bad for you, but what about just the egg whites?

Eating whole eggs is not bad for you, most of the benefits are in the yolk.

It is time this myth was dispersed.

LOL, I think you mean "dispelled", not "disbursed". To disburse it would mean to spread it further. :ohwell:

Totally right though. Dietary cholesterol has a very VERY limited impact on blood cholesterol. An exerpt from "Why Zebras Don't Get Ulcers" explains the misinformation regarding dietary cholesterol and cardiovascular disease;

"With the chronic increase in blood pressure that accompanies repeated stress, damage begins to occur at branch points
in arteries throughout the body. The smooth inner lining of the vessel begins to tear or form little craters of damage.
Once this layer is damaged, you get an inflammatory response—cells of the immune system that mediate
inflammation aggregate at the injured site. Moreover, cells full of fatty nutrients, called foam cells, begin to form
there, too. In addition, during stress the sympathetic nervous system makes your blood more viscous. Specifically,
epinephrine makes circulating platelets (a type of blood cell that promotes clotting) more likely to clump together, and
these clumped platelets can get gummed up in these aggregates as well. As we'll see in the next chapter, during stress
you're mobilizing energy into the bloodstream, including fat, glucose, and the "bad" type of cholesterol, and these can
also add to the aggregate. All sorts of fibrous gunk builds up there, too. You've now made yourself an atherosclerotic
plaque.
Therefore, stress can promote plaque formation by increasing the odds of blood vessels being damaged and inflamed,
and by increasing the likelihood that circulating crud (platelets, fat, cholesterol, and so on) sticks to those inflamed
injury sites. For years, clinicians have tried to get a sense of someone's risk of cardiovascular disease by measuring
how much of one particular type of crud there is in the bloodstream. This is, of course, cholesterol, leading to such a
skittishness about cholesterol that the egg industry has to urge us to give their cholesterol-filled products a break. High
levels of cholesterol, particularly of "bad" cholesterol, certainly increase the risk for cardiovascular disease. But
they're not a great predictor; a surprising number of folks can tolerate high levels of bad cholesterol without
cardiovascular consequences, and only about half of heart attack victims have elevated cholesterol levels.
In the last few years, it is becoming clear that the amount of damaged, inflamed blood vessels is a better predictor of
cardiovascular trouble than is the amount of circulating crud. This makes sense, in that you can eat eleventy eggs a
day and have no worries in the atherosclerosis realm if there are no damaged vessels for crud to stick to; conversely,
plaques can be forming even amid "healthy" levels of cholesterol, if there is enough vascular damage."
