Eggs are good for you – even with cholesterol!

For the first time in decades, the latest Dietary Guidelines for Americans no longer recommend that we limit our intake of cholesterol to 300mg a day. (One egg yolk contains about 180mg of cholesterol.)

Instead, these experts tell us to limit saturated fat (eggs are low in this type of fat) and “eat as little dietary cholesterol as possible while consuming a healthy eating pattern”.
