...turns out that the most damning evidence doctors had against eggs was circumstantial. Eggs, or really egg yolks, contain about 215 mg of cholesterol.

Then Katz, who is white, explained to her cinnamon-skinned, Guatemalan-born daughter that they came from different countries. Over the years, Katz and her husband Gary Richards have consciously worked to minimize the distance between themselves and their daughter: taking a trip to Mexico to surround Lena, now eight, with people...
