Egg yolks are high in cholesterol, so we can’t eat them?

People with "three highs" should stay away from foods with high cholesterol. Therefore, many people say that when eating eggs, only the egg white can be eaten, and the high cholesterol yolk cannot be eaten. Is this really the case? ?

Although egg yolks do contain more cholesterol, with one egg yolk containing up to 280 mg of cholesterol, the cholesterol that most people ingest through their diet (such as from egg yolks) does not directly affect the cholesterol level in their blood.

Cholesterol in the human body is mainly affected by genetic genes and metabolic factors. The absorption of dietary cholesterol by the human body and the effect of cholesterol on blood lipids vary significantly among different populations. Both the "Dietary Guidelines for Chinese Residents 2016" and the "Dietary Guidelines for American Residents 2015" have cancelled the previous dietary cholesterol limit (300 mg per day), believing that there is no evidence that more cholesterol ingested through the human body through diet will lead to high blood lipids or heart disease.

Egg yolk is rich in high-quality protein, monounsaturated fatty acids, lecithin, vitamin A, vitamin B1, calcium, zinc and other nutrients. Its overall nutritional value far exceeds that of egg white and it is the essence of egg nutrition.
