If you have had your cholesterol tested and find out the level in your system is high, then taking the yolks out of eggs is an excellant way to cut down on your cholesterol intake. Naturally, any food containing a high amout of animal fat would also be wise to cut down if not eliminate completely, like real butter. (By the way, I love real butter but only use it during the holidays when making cookies and candies. The rest of the year I live with margerine and few eggs. I have had a consistantly low cholestrol level for several years and intend to keep it that way. :-) Denise erol level
