(Side note: although cholesterol from your diet WILL NOT lead a person to have high cholesterol, if you have a genetic predisposition to hypercholesterolaemia - which has lead you to have high LDL levels or poor LDL:HLD ratio's - then you are better off limiting your daily intake of cholesterol).
She is not wrong - they do have a high level of cholesterol in them.Premiere said:
You will need to be concerned about the cholesterol if you have a family history of high cholesterol - because this means you have a genetic predisposition to hypercholesterolaemia and you should limit your intake.
Additionally, you should also make sure that you are getting substances that will help your body DEAL with the cholesterol from the eggs - things that help your blood vessels repeal the cholesterol and things that help your body take up and use the cholesterol. So this means you want to have a diet rich in unsaturated fats - such as omega-3 fatty acids (walnuts, linseeds/flaxseeds, fish oils), high in fibre (especially soluble fibre - such as that in legumes, fruits, grains/brans) and rich in anti-oxidants.
Personally, I agree with your mum. You do not need 2-3 eggs - not because of the cholesterol but because, for someone of your height who is trying to lose weight, you only need one whole egg. Get the rest of your protein from whites/cottage cheese and reserve your fats for healthier options (those omega-3 fats).
k well my dads family has a history of high cholestorol, i havent been checked in a while so i dont know what my levels are,
i eat 4 eggs everymorning, 1 whole and 3 whites, frm what i know only the yolk contains cholestorol. would 1 whole egg play a significant role in raising my cholestorol levels/

Have any of you seen research supporting the notion that someone with a genetic predisposition to hypercholeserolimia should concern themselves with limiting dietary intake? I have seen the argument before and would like to know where it comes from. If you have referenced, I am definitely interested in taking a look.
My thinking goes that if you do have a predisposition and limit the intake, the liver will still overproduce and you have not solved the problem. Why should the presdisposition change anything about the argument concluding that dietary cholesterol is insignificant in altering blood levels?

It shouldn't, but I would go and get your own cholesterol levels checked - if it is high, then you need to take the necessary steps to decrease this and you will also need to watch what you eat more carefully.fatass said:
It is usually suggested as a part of diet therapy - although simply lowering dietry cholesterol and saturated fats will not really alter the ratio's of LDL and HDL - which is a part of the problem as well... But the medical community is now getting the message that you have to alter other aspects of the diet if you want a really beneficial response (like I said above - increasing fibre, fruits/vegetables and mono/poly-unsaturated fats).Cardinal said:
