Deb, fat doesnt make you fat. Cholesterol in food wont raise your cholesterol (unless you have rare medical condition) - 80% of the cholesterol running around inside you right now is that which your own body manufacturers regardless of how you eat. Eating cholesterol signals to your body that it does not have to make any - and for what it's worth the cholesterol your body makes is more easily oxidized and damaged (bad).
