Thank you for the information.  However, my concern is with the fat, no the 
cholesterol.  I am one of the blessed whose cholestorol level never seems to go 
up, yet one of the cursed whose weight does.  When I look at a recipe that calls 
for extensive amounts of yolks, I wonder if I could substitute and save some of 
those fat grams that mean so much to me.
