When Should I Start Worrying About My Cholesterol?
April 11th, 2009 | 
Author: I’m 15, and I eat two eggs just about everyday. (Every school day, at least.) I looked at the egg carton and it said one egg contains 79% cholesterol daily value. So that means I go over the recommended amount of cholesterol in my first meal! I was just wondering, is two eggs five days a week bad? Should I stop? People have told me that I’m young and I shouldn’t worry about my cholesterol at this age, if so, when should I start?

High Cholesterol levels are often genetic. If either of your parents have elevated Cholesterol levels, then it may not be a bad idea (the next time you have blood-work) to have a base-line cholesterol check.
My dad has very high cholesterol (made by the body) and I was tested as a teenager. I’ve been on medication since I was 17.
If you are concerned that you are eating too many eggs, then cut the amount down to a few times a week.
No, I do not want to sound like a skeptic of controversies, but you need to personally get tested for your cholesterol before you raise concern.
Having a high cholesterol is genetically determined and independent of weight or diet. I am overweight and eat many, many eggs a week as a low-calorie nutritious meal to help lose weight. I have had my cholesterol tested many times even after eating a dozen eggs over several days with little affect to my blood health. Keeping cholesterol within your system depends on genetics solely typically.
yeah i wouldn’t worry about it.
