A member asked:
I'm wondering are eggs bad for a person who has familial hypercholesterolemia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yolk: The yolk is loaded with cholesterol. One egg has 186 mg of cholesterol and that's 86% of your daily recommended cholesterol in-take. So, you can eat 1 egg a day and little else that contains cholesterol. It's up to you.
