Dietary cholesterol has been associated with increased risk of
cardiovascular disease. However some studies have suprisingly not found
any risk associated with egg consumption.
Data from (BMJ 300: 771-3 1990):
Myocardial Infarction Relative risk
Consumption: Low Medium High
Eggs 1 1.2 0.8
Meat 1 0.8 1.5
Carrots 1 0.5 0.4
This unexpected result might derive from the strong cholesterol lowering
effects of egg white itself. (J Nutr Sci Vitaminol 42: 87-96 1996) As far
as lowering cardiovascular disease risk, it looks like egg whites are
right up there with arginine rich nut protein.
I fry mine in olive oil.
