A recent article said to
"Because eggs do contain a fairly high amount of cholesterol, limit
your intake to no more than seven per week"
I eat only egg whites, 2 per day, that should not be a problem, right?

The cholesterol in eggs is in the yolk. There have been recent studies that have proven that the scare from a few years back was just that, a scare. The choleterol in eggs is not bad for you. In fact, eggs are a very good source of protein.
If you're eating only two egg whites a day, you have nothing to worry about.

All the fat and cholesterol is in the yolk. If you have 2 whites per day, you are doing great! No problems at all.

Yes, all of the cholesterol is in the yolk. Believe it or not, scrambled egg whites or egg-white omelettes taste pretty much identical to the real thing.

The part that contains cholesterol in an egg is the yellow part if you it only the white you shouldn't have a problem.

Yolks are high in cholesterol, but rich in vitamins and other nutrients. You throw away a lot of good when you throw out the bad.

Try eggbeaters or similar products. Use canola oil butter, like Country Crock Light, which has no colesterol, too.
