Cholesterol in the body is mainly produced by the liver

Relationship between dietary cholesterol and cholesterol in the body is complex. Briefly, cholesterol in the body comes from only a small part from the diet, and is mostly synthesized by the liver. Healthy people have the ability to self-regulate, which help to control cholesterol levels.

Although eggs contain cholesterol, it is only a small part of dietary cholesterol; generally healthy people should not have to avoid it. On days we consumer eggs, we should try to avoid eating other foods with high cholesterol or egg-containing foods, such as squid, eel, cakes, tarts, etc., so to not exceed the daily limit of 300 milligrams of cholesterol. As people who have high cholesterol should consult a nutritionist or doctor.
