Eggs
Eggs were the most prominent casualty of the anti-cholesterol fad, specifically egg yolk. Too much cholesterol in our system, particularly low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, can be a bad thing, since it can raise the risk of plaque in our arteries, which can then lead to heart attacks and other cardiovascular disease. But most studies haven’t found that eating these foods significantly affects our bodily levels of cholesterol much, if at all. This debate may not be totally settled, with some researchers still arguing that eating too much egg yolk can raise cholesterol. But for now, current dietary guidelines no longer have a strict limit on how much cholesterol people should have on their dinner plates.
