Probably not: Eggs and cholesterol is not a problem, unless you are allergic to eggs. Then you can't eat them. If you have no high cholesterol history, and your liver can manufacture cholesterol and break it down, then dietary cholesterol is not going to have any bearing on your health. Those with high cholesterol is another thing altogether, and their ability to reduce it may be hereditary or other issues.
