That's even more misleading. As usual, the AHA seems far behind the
times regarding proper nutrition, although overall the guidelines
are sound. It's telling that they don't even know enough to
differentiate betweeh HDL and LDL cholesterol -- let alone leaving
out any mention of research pertaining to the LDL/HDL ratio, which
appears to be more important than overall count. Or maybe they do
know better but the article dumbs down the subject for the general
public.
See for example:

Granted, it's written by a guy from the egg industry, but at least it's
in a respectable journal.
