it's like eggs.

people think that, because eggs are high in cholesterol, they're bad for your heart.

but, your body breaks down ingested cholesterol, it doesn't absorb it. so, that idea is based on a bad understanding of how your metabolism works.

if you're concerned about cholesterol, you want to reduce the amount of carbs that you eat, not the amount of cholesterol you eat.

you also want to keep the saturated fats down, a bit, but that seems to be less important.

the eggs are fine. what's killing you is the toast.
