It’s been a long-running myth that eggs are bad for your cholesterol
numbers, but the truth is there is little-to-no relationship between
dietary cholesterol and higher blood cholesterol levels. So while an egg
itself may be high in cholesterol, consuming one does not cause a spike
in your levels. With that said, if your cholesterol numbers are already
high, this doesn’t mean you can start piling on the three-egg omelets.
According to Cleveland Clinic (http://my.clevelandclinic.org/), moderation is key. Talk to your doctor if you’re concerned about your cholesterol.
