Don't eliminate eggs from your diet. Use them wisely or follow the American Heart Association guideline— no more than four a week.

Cholesterol-rich eggs are bad for heart health, several research studies have found that for most people, dietary cholesterol has little effect on the cholesterol level in blood.

Saturated fat has a more significant effect on your blood-cholesterol level. A person's response to dietary cholesterol is highly individual and genetically determined.

About 20% of us have little or no response to dietary cholesterol; 50% show a small response; and the remaining 30% are responders, particularly sensitive to high-cholesterol foods.

There is no easy test to determine who is cholesterol sensitive, so just be cautious when using eggs and other cholesterol-rich foods.
