The egg yolk has twice the ammout of cholesterol that the human body can process in one day. Hence - don't eat more than 3 eggs a week especially that we get a lot of cholesterol from other foods as well and many cooked foods contain egg yolk.
My father had a stroke many years ago (mild one, luckily). the first thing the doctor told him not to eat anymore were eggs for while - now he is allowed a maximum of 2 eggs a week.
Everything in moderation!
