"Limiting egg consumption has little effect on cholesterol levels," research has confirmed.
"There is cholesterol present in eggs but this does not usually make a great contribution to your level of blood cholesterol.
If you need to reduce your cholesterol level it is more important that you cut down on the amount of saturated fat in your diet from foods like fatty meat, full fat dairy products and cakes, biscuits and pastries."
Having been told recently that the cholesterol levels in my blood are slightly raised, this comes as welcome news, so I'm off to build myself a nice egg-heavy mushroom omelette!
Will someone please 'discover' that a wedge of full fat soft cheese is also ok!
