I agree.  The yolks are high in acid, and Cordain has probably become aware 
that cancer loves an acidic environment.  This is especially true for people 
who are eating quite a bit of meat. At least that is the only explanation 
that I can think of as to why Cordain would exclude yokes.  But, as has been 
stated here, the yolks have a lot of essential nutrients and eating egg 
whites alone would not be healthy over time.

Having had cancer nine years ago I try to be careful about eating too many 
acidic foods.  I generally eat two organic eggs daily and get around the 
high acid problem by eating the egg whites and only about a third of the 
yolks.
