    The reason I'm so interested is because I have always eaten egg yolks myself, but always have been paranoid that I'm asking for a heart attack in later years. Even to the point where when I have my 7th or 8th egg, I almost feel my blood pressure jump from anxiety of the thought like "damn I need to really stop eating yolks", thats huge though I need to do more research.

    Just saw one from Harvard but its new and I would not trust it, will look for what else is out there right now I'm real curious about this yolk topic.
    I don't have any studies at the moment, but from personal experience eating the yolk does not effect my cholesterol in a bad way. I ate 12 whole eggs a day for about 6 weeks and got tested. I can't remember numbers, but the doc was impressed.

    I only see the frozen whites in Woolies now. Never been tempted to buy them.

    Wow this is pretty damn impressing indeed. As long as I've been here I've heard over and over "just one yolk a day" but could never not eat the yolks lol.

    I'm gonna familiarize myself with this topic so I know now for good, next time someone comments about be eating my egg yolks I will unleash a furry of scientific studies to prove them wrong, then enjoy my yolks like its always been meant to be =] lmao - thanks gents, another reason why I love this site, its like the CIA of diet information.
