Egg Yolk is extra rich in Cholestrol

I was dismayed to learn the following facts on our regular food. While Butter & Ghee has got a Cholesterol of 250 and 300 mg / 100gm, the Egg Yolk has an equivalent of 1120 mg/100gm!.
So it is safe not to eat Egg Yolk. I f you so much fond of Egg, eat only the Egg White, it has almost zero cholesterol!

A similar rich Cholesterol dish is Brain {Organ Meat} with a count of 200mg/ 100gm!

Cheese, Organ Meats like Heart, Kidney, liver, & Prawns have high Cholesterol in the range of 100-400 mg/100gms.
