Changing the dietary guidelines (in the US) was only recommended 2 years ago. Like salt, fats, and other things, it'll take a while before we come down from some of the hyperbolic concerns that grew up around cholesterol.

    Then we'll go to eggs=cholesterol=good, and then at some point we'll realize that it was probably something in between all along and that eating 4 eggs for breakfast is not exactly great either…
