Cholesterol is found only in animal products, sometimes to a high degree: one egg yolk has 272 mg, and 3 oz. of beef liver has 331 mg.

Not all seafood is as highly recommended: shrimp and crab, for example, have twice as much cholesterol as fish. Grundy's major candidates for removal from the diet...

That would place them somewhat closer to the count of Rosemary Farm eggs. So even if the brave new eggs have yet to reach the neighborhood market, Americans may feel just a litle less devilish the next time they reach...
