Cooked whites will not affect the absorption of biotin, if I recall
rightly. And nothing in the world would make me dispose of the valuable
things in the yolks. They contain substances which help metabolize
cholesterol.

I stick to my perhaps simplistic view that, overall, the body manufactures
enough cholesterol to render the amount in the diet unimportant in most
cases - except that of course, it has to be a Paleo diet to avoid the ills
that cause the body to screw up what it does with that cholesterol.

Since when is tossing egg yolks a prototypical thing to do? Sorry, but
that's rule one for me.
