    The cholesterol in egg yolks is not particularly high. It is important to know that the overall nutritional value of egg yolks far exceeds egg whites, which is the essence of egg nutrition. Eggs do contain more cholesterol, but the latest version of the "Chinese Dietary Guidelines 2016" abolished the previous dietary cholesterol limit, thinking that there is no evidence that dietary cholesterol can cause high blood cholesterol or heart disease.
