Are egg yolks bad for you?

Answer by  RunawayJim (964)

They can be bad if you have very high cholesterol or eat too many of them, but on the whole they are not bad. They are actually high in protein and good in moderation.

They're not really bad but you should limit the amount you eat. The yolk of an egg is where the cholesterol is.

They can be if you have a cholesterol problem. That is why many people only eat egg whites. However, there is a brand of eggs that you're able to purchase at the grocery store where the yolk isn't bad for people with cholesterol problems. The chicken are fed a certain diet to prevent high cholesterol factors in the yolk.
