Concern over the egg and cholesterol connection is about as time-tested as the ‘which came first-chicken or egg?’ question, but it is important to remember to think ‘big picture’ and keep in mind that egg yolks are not often consumed in isolation, which influences how the body metabolizes, uses, and processes components such as cholesterol.
