    Actually, dietary cholesterol has now been shown to have no correlation to blood cholesterol levels.
    It's also beneficial for hormone production.

    Thanks for wording that better than I did. You're good at that. :)

    My mother died from heart disease recently... it had nothing to do with dietary cholesterol.

    It's also vital for healthy nerve cells ie: brain development. You've got a baby in your profile pic.

    "A new national study has shown that nearly 75 percent of patients hospitalized for a heart attack had cholesterol levels that would indicate they were not at high risk fora cardiovascular event, based on current national cholesterol guidelines."

    Perhaps you are actually saying "Yes"...

    I eat largely a whole foods diet that includes meat...took my LDL from 168 to 93.

    Eating meat doesn't cause heart disease. Also, there is no direct correlation between dietary cholesterol and blood serum levels.

    Lol...I eat 12 or more eggs per week. Meat at least 4 times. I have incredible healthy cholesterol levels. But I also eat lots of veggies, fruits, legumes, and whole grains. So...just say YES to eating in moderation.
