Eggs
& Cholesterol
What
is the cholesterol content of eggs? The most recent study
done by USDA's Agricultural Research Service showed cholesterol
content of one large egg to be 213 milligrams. All of the cholesterol
is in the yolk. The industry is testing various poultry feeding
and management practices to see if the cholesterol content can
be reduced.
Today's
large egg contains 70 calories, 5 grams of fat, and 6 grams of
protein. The egg is a good source of complete protein, vitamins
A and B-12, riboflavin, folacin, iron, zinc, and phosphorus.
