The traditional view is that the high content of egg yolk cholesterol is the culprit directly causing hypertension, atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease and stroke. Therefore, many middle-aged and elderly people dare not eat egg yolk. Recently, nutritionists organized a team to study the relationship between egg yolk and cholesterol, and conducted a six-month experiment on 116 men aged 50 to 65.
The results of several experiments, in which the cholesterol content of the subjects who did not eat egg yolk decreased, weaken the traditional view the most.
