For me, yes. One egg has the equivalent of a day's worth of cholesterol, so three eggs a day isn't wise for someone like myself that has high cholesterol.
And while you have every right to be skeptical, I'd rather not take that chance considering that my cholesterol was 294 before taking medication in 2007. My dad's cholesterol and heart went unchecked until 2008, when they found that three of his arteries were completely blocked and a fourth 50% blocked, requiring immediate angioplasty and more than two years of Plavix and other heart medications to restore his health.
I'd rather not take any unnecessary risks.
