If you only eat the whites, why bother?
I'm still eating them as I have for years. I eat four to six a week.
This confirms my thoughts.

The new study's findings do dovetail with large studies by other
groups having no industrial financing. For instance, in 1999, Frank B.
Hu of the Harvard School of Public Health and his colleagues reported
no increased risk of coronary heart disease or stroke in men or women
who ate more than one egg per day. The analysis compared diet and
cardiovascular risk among nearly 38,000 participants of two
long-running epidemiologic studies.
A Michigan State University analysis, reported a year later, analyzed
the diets and blood-cholesterol data for more than 27,000 people—a
representative cross-section of the U.S. population. It found that
cholesterol was lower in people who ate more than four eggs per week
than among people who eschewed eggs. However, the researchers
cautioned, "this study should not be used as a basis for recommending
higher egg consumption for regulation of serum cholesterol."
