The Medical Ignoramus Committee got three of their pseudo-nutrition-minded wunderkind together to write a report on the dangers of egg yolks and sure enough there they were trying to shoot down egg yolks as a danger to the heart because of their cholesterol content.
Don't the poor boys know after all these years of beating that old drum that any cholesterol you stuff into your mouth has to be processed by the digestive system, if any of it is to wind up in the circulatory system, or any where else, no matter what your genetics are. Cholesterol can be made from other nutrients beside cholesterol and usually is. Even pop has a cholesterol potential, because of it's sugar content.
Surely, these Docs do not believe that eating a radish leads to rosacea because the skin of that little old radish somehow escapes the digestive system and just pops right up to the face and there you've got it. Rosacea!
If that's true, I wonder where the white part goes? Ever think of that, Docs?
I never did believe that egg nonsense, but I do not drown myself in fats either, so I digest my eggs quite well except that the sulphur component gets me some times, especially if I eat too much coleslaw, as well as my whole-egg omelet.
I gotta tell you Boys that an egg yolk also contains lecithin which is a powerful anti-cholesterol controlling nutrient.
Anyway, if you get your vitamins from foods with lots off anti-oxidants, your plumbing will not get compromised and need your liver to manufacture all that LDL cholesterol to reinforce those creaky arteries to the point where they clog.
The body needs cholesterol to manufacture hormones and renew the brain as well as patch compromised arteries. So, go ahead and eat your egg yolks. They contain an antidote for the cholesterol in them that gets the medicine people all revved up.
I'm not practicing medicine here, and you guys don't know enough to practice nutrition, either.
Get some good books on Nutrition and Biochemistry and then sit down with Dr. Google and see what else you can learn. Apparently you have lots of room for real nutritional information.
I hope you guys are not teaching another generation of doctors because you don't know that you don't know, apparently.
Telling people to eat egg whites instead of egg yolks is ignorant of the nutritional facts. Egg whites can present their own nutritional problems...
But then it was a dietitian who came up with the egg white idea in response to the doctor's report on the news. That does not absolve doctors, as some of them are also silly enough to imagine that an omelet can be made with egg whites.
You've got egg on your faces, Boys.

- Profile Worked in Education from ’55 until ’89.. Taught Nutrition and other aspects of Home Ec/Family Studies Worked in Arts, Renovation and Home Decoration I was a skinny little kid whose mother tried to fatten her up. Mother succeeded beyond my wildest nightmares. It was, “Clean up your plate!” “You need something to fall back on,” To her credit, she did recognize gross obesity when she saw it. When I was twelve I bought my first book…a book on diet. The quest to find that skinny little kid again was on. I yo-yoed for forty years but my big stomach was always the part that annoyed me. Cirrhosis announced itself in ’07 and I went from 175 to 132 on diuretic pills to relieve the Ascites complication. I lost 23 pounds of fluid. I looked anorexic. Today, at 145 pounds, I still look malnourished, and I am. I’ve come to realize that nutritional facts have attention getting ways of manifesting in one’s life. And these ways are never fun. There is no way to be fat just on the outside. I’m eating and exercising the best I can for my liver right now. I know it’s kind of late, but better late than never.
