For decades, high blood cholesterol levels have been linked to risk of heart disease and heart attacks is higher.
In an effort to cut the levels of blood cholesterol, the medical community advised the public to make dietary cholesterol, such as avoiding the consumption of whole eggs.
But there's one thing you need to consider before deciding to antagonize the yolk.
"Avoid the yolk is almost irrelevant if you are expecting a healthy blood cholesterol levels and heart health," said Donald K. Layman, Ph.D., professor of food science and nutrition at the University of Illinois.
"In fact, after conducting a study, less than half of the respondents who have heart disease that otherwise have high cholesterol levels. Thus, high cholesterol is not a benchmark that can predict heart diseas. "
Patricia Vassallo, M.D., a cardiologist at Northwestern Memorial Hospital said, "To raise levels of good cholesterol in the blood naturally, you have to stop eating trans fats. Eat more foods containing omega-3 fatty acids and fiber, such as fruits and vegetables. Thus, you do not need to be hostile to the yolk. "
