honestly, I'm not sure. I've seen studies both saying egg yolks are high in cholestrol, and I've seen studies refuting that claim. considering the levels I ingest, I figured better safe than sorry (and cheaper 12 dozen eggs = 750ml of egg whites. crazy!) and just went with the egg whites.

egg yolks ARE high in cholesterol. But AFAIK the data is leaning towards the fact that our bodies recognize extra dietary cholesterol, and doesn't synthesize as much to compensate.

>12 dozen eggs = 750ml of egg whites

I just want to make sure (12 and dozen right next to each other confuses my tired mind) is this 12 Dozen (as in 1 gross) eggs or 12 (a typo)?

Interestingly, Wolfram|Alpha claims an egg white has a volume of 0.72 fl oz = 21 mL, which would make 750 mL equal to about 35 egg whites…

I think the meaning was more towards "12 eggs is ~= the price of 750ml of egg whites."

Hah sorry. Yeah, as pointed out, I mean 12 eggs.
