The yolk is rich in vitamins that the egg white doesn't even have, like the fatty acid DHA. They now know that higher cholesterol levels are more related to a diet high in saturated and trans fats than to dietary cholesterol. That doesn't mean it is now safe to eat foods high in cholesterol all day either. Two whole eggs a day is fine, though. Just as long as you're eating a healthy and balanced diet the rest of the day.
