Ignore the cholesterol in your whey. Your body makes nearly all the cholesterol in your blood, it doesn't come from your food. As recent studies are showing, eggs may be high in cholesterol, but eating them doesn't give you high cholesterol.

Go for the whey that suits your marcos and your wallet.

Indeed. My mother still doesn't believe that cholesterol is down to genetics, so when she see's me eating 2-3 eggs a day she nags at me non stop.
