A lot of them eat egg whites only because egg yolks contain a little less than half of the protein but all of the fat and cholesterol. Some say that the cholesterol in yolks actually has a small impact on, and even reduces your blood cholesterol, but I haven't seen a definitive study.

Have you ever seen a study that links cholesterol intake to blood levels? I was looking for one long ago, and the only research I could find said that over 90% of cholesterol is produced by the body.

And what do they do with the yolks?

  Throw them away. (I'm one of these people. My doctor told me that my blood cholesterol was too high for my age and I had to cut back on eggs. I cut back on eggs as well as foods containing saturated fat, and it's since gone down.)
