The cholesterol scare with eggs went out in the mid-90's if I remember correctly.

Sure, eggs contain LDL cholesterol (the 'bad' cholesterol). But in the grand scheme of things, the amount they have isn't anything detrimental to overall health, especially when it comes to cholesterol ratings and heart health.

All of the LDL cholesterol, which stems mainly from saturated fats (when it comes to diet), comes from the yolk. And basically, if you're eating less than 5 dozen egg yolks a day, you're fine.
