Cholesterol is only in the Yolks, not the Whites.

Frankly, I can't give you a definitive answer, but as a rule of thumb, don't exceed 1 Yolk a day, and when you're 75 come back on here and thank me for still being alive :wink:

Okay scrub that bit afer the 1 yolk a day thing, that's optional, depending on the longevity of this site, you and me :P
