Section 2: Cholesterol — What You Should Know
Many people worry about the cholesterol in egg yolks, but research shows the impact is smaller than once believed. For most individuals, dietary cholesterol does not significantly raise blood cholesterol levels. Modern guidelines no longer set a strict cholesterol limit for healthy adults.
