Let's start at the beginning.. Egg yolk Neither fattens nor raises bad cholesterol. The whole egg is one of the healthiest foods there is, it is complete protein and the yolk has good fats, vitamins and antioxidants that help you to be healthier.
Why do so many people still have a phobia of yolk?! It is due to the confusion between cholesterol in the diet; The one found in food and cholesterol in our blood. They are totally different! High blood cholesterol levels are the result of a bad diet; Excess carbohydrates processed in the diet + trans fats/excess saturated fats and sedentariness, but it is not because of the cholesterol you get from food. That a food is naturally high in cholesterol (such as egg yolks and shellfish) does not imply that it will raise your bad cholesterol.
