Eggs and Cholesterol: Nope. The liver sees your food that you eat as proteins, carbohydrates and fats. Everything that is absorbed from your stomach and intestines are dissolved and broken into these main components. If your diet is low in fat and sugars then you are doing the right thing for natural approaches to lowering your cholesterol risk.

No, they are Good: Cholesterol, like all other fats/hydrocarbons are digested ; only molecular pieces are absorbed. Thus cholesterol in food has little effect on blood/body cholesterol concentrations. The small intestines absorb cholesterol, typically ~50% of the cholesterol present, but this is only intact ; free, not esterified, cholesterol molecules ; the vast majority of these molecules are from liver excretion.
