Delhi-based cardiologist Dr Alok Chopra, with over 40 years of experience, challenges the common practice of consuming only egg whites due to cholesterol concerns. He emphasizes that egg yolks contain essential vitamins, healthy fats, and complete proteins, and that dietary cholesterol does not directly impact blood cholesterol levels.
