why is egg white so good but yolk so bad?

Yolk is considered good HDL, but you only need about 2 yolks to satisfy your dairy needs. So for every 5-6 eggs I cook, I keep about 2 yolks and all of the whites. This varies from everyone, but that was the restriction I've kept for years. Over saturating any nutritional value can be just as bad as not getting them.0

Even if we concede that yolks are ok, why did nature produce whole milk, and not 1% or 2%? Something doesnt add up.
The same folks who ACTUALLY killed JFK probably are involved. With aliens.
If Oswald did not kill Kennedy, someone else did (aliens?).

Ooooh, mathematical philosophy hehe0 -
The yolk has all the flavor. And we know from all of the knowledge on MFP that anything with flavor is bad, and must be eliminated from your diet.0

Man I am glad I eat yolks.0 -
Nature also makes nightshade. Not generally recommended for consumption.
But yes eggs are yay.0 -
Yolks aren't bad, that's a myth.
not only are the yolks DE-LICIOUS, it is the most horrendous waste of food to throw them away0 -
I wouldn't say the egg yolk is bad per se. I understand that egg yolk is high in cholesterol and the correlation between high cholesterol and heart disease, but it's ironic that the yolk itself is loaded with B Vitamins, which may reduce the risk of heart disease. Go figure.0

Like everyone has said, yolks aren't bad. Also "nature" did not intend to make eggs for human consumption, they are intended to form a living organism when fertilized. That said, they are nutritious and delicious!0

I dont understand why nature would put the two together when one is so bad and the other is so good for you. This tells me that nature did not intend us to live healthy because it wasnt until recently that we found out the bad things about yolks.
There's nothing wrong in eating egg yolks or whole fat milk. I think you will find that the "yolks are bad for you", "fat is bad for you" isn't recent advice at all - just flawed thinking from the last century.0 -

And the body naturally makes WAY more cholesterol than we consume.
Why does it do this? Oh yeh, we need cholesterol.
Hmmm, what if 'high' cholesterol correlates with CVD not because it is the cause but because it is trying to repair the damage caused by something else?
But that would mean everyone trying to reduce theirs by taking drugs or by dietary means had been wasting their time and money.
Hmmm, good job THAT isn't the case then.
I'm having scrambled eggs for breakfast today in tribute to this thread, laid by our free range chickens this week and I'm nadgered if I'm separating anything. Full fat cheese and milk too.0
