Egg whites contain avidin which binds to biotin (vitamin B 8, I think that is). Avidin is mostly neutralised by cooking. The yolk on the other hand contains all sorts of nutritional goodies. Personally I wouldn't start to worry about egg consumption until I was eating about 6 a day. But I don't like them enough to eat that many! I imagine Cordain is on some cholesterol buzz when he says to avoid eggs. Better in my non-medical opinion to eat as many eggs as you like and not to stress yourself out over it. The stress is much worse for you than the dietary cholesterol. ...R.
