why is egg white so good but yolk so bad?

Who says the yolks are bad?

Yolks aren't bad, that's a myth.

yolk is good for you. people used to freak out because it's high in cholesterol, but further scientific studies have shown that egg consumption does not increase the levels of "bad" cholesterol in the blood, and the link between dietary cholesterol and blood cholesterol and the risk of heart disease isn't as clear cut as once thought. Egg yolks are full of fat soluble vitamins and are a great source of protein. AFAIK there are some people who due to specific health issues may be better advised to avoid egg yolks because of cholesterol, but unless your doctor has told you that (and check that your doctor has up to date info and isn't telling everyone to avoid egg yolks) then no need to avoid them.

It turns out the study that originally labeled yolks as bad had people eating a ridiculous amount, a dozen a day or something like that. Like anything else, they need eaten in moderation but happen to be a damn near perfect food. I eat them almost every day. I figure there's a lot more nutrients for just a few more calories when you eat the whole thing.

Even if we concede that yolks are ok, why did nature produce whole milk, and not 1% or 2%? Something doesnt add up.

Whole fried eggs + whole wheat toast + whole bacon slices + a glass of whole milk = yum

^adds up just fine to me....someone check my maths please?

^ this. Very well said.

I housed three yolks this morning myself. They were so good. I even cooked the eggs with olive oil. I drank a glass of milk with it too. Am I going to die? Successfully?

Guaranteed or your money back.

Ok good. As long as I am going to die successfully, that's fine

The same folks who ACTUALLY killed JFK probably are involved. With aliens.

Aliens?

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.

If Oswald did not kill Kennedy, someone else did (aliens?).
or
If Oswald did not kill Kennedy, someone else would have (aliens?).

Ooooh, mathematical philosophy hehe

Nature also makes nightshade. Not generally recommended for consumption.

But yes eggs are yay.
