The notion that dietary cholesterol, such as saturated fat from beef, converts directly into blood cholesterol is totally false. Science has never been able to connect dietary fats of animal origin and dietary cholesterol to levels of serum cholesterol or risk for coronary heart disease. And when scientists try to track a relationship between serum cholesterol and egg consumption, they continually document that cholesterol levels in people who eat few or no eggs are often identical to people who consume lots of eggs.
