Since late April, WeChat circulated a statement, the U.S. government amended the 40 years since the error: cholesterol beneficial harmless, no longer good or bad, causing concern. The article said, "the United States government departments to accept cholesterol is not 'worrying nutrients'. That's a far cry from the idea that the US government has been advocating for people to stay away from high cholesterol foods to avoid heart disease and clogged arteries since the 70s, a 180 degree turn." The American Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee, will also release a new dietary recommendations: no longer limit the intake of dietary cholesterol, it is recommended to pay attention to sugar intake, which is a major dietary risk."
So, eggs and other high cholesterol food, from now on can open to eat? "Seriously" for you to check. 
Verification process
      The new version of the American dietary guidelines did cancel the recommended daily intake of cholesterol is not more than 300 milligrams, but should not be misread. 
      The 2015 edition of "American dietary guidelines" "key recommendations" part really has no restrictions on cholesterol "American dietary guidelines", this is the United States Department of agriculture, Ministry of health and Public Utilities Authority issued by the Ministry of dietary guidance. The latest version 2015 was released in January 2016. The American government "the United States government changed the 40 years since the error" refers to the key recommendations of the "guide" of the "" (Key Recommendations), canceled since 1977 are included in the various versions of limiting the intake of cholesterol formulation: in the 2010 version, this formulation is recommended every day "cholesterol intake does not exceed 300 mg, and in the latest version of the" key ", do not have any restrictions. 
      But this does not mean that the new version of the American residents dietary guidelines that cholesterol is beneficial. There is a chapter in the guide called "an in-depth look at a healthy eating pattern"(A Closer Look Inside Healthy Eating Patterns), a detailed description of the guidelines for the integrity of cholesterol. Here clearly pointed out that "the abolition of 300 mg per day limit does not mean cholesterol is no longer important" building healthy eating patterns, and also refers to the Institute of Medicine (IOM) proposal: "while maintaining a healthy diet, eat less cholesterol." This chapter also explicitly mentioned, usually high content of cholesterol foods also contain saturated fat is higher, while in the "guide" of the "key advice" has been mentioned on the intake of saturated fat, as long as we follow this diet advice, cholesterol intake will not be excessive. 
      The new version of the American residents dietary guidelines clearly states that in the premise of maintaining a healthy diet, cholesterol, eat less the better.”
The reason for this change is that the latest medical studies show that the cholesterol content in the blood is much more complex than previously understood. There is no evidence of a "predictable correlation between cholesterol intake and cardiovascular disease," the Committee said". In other words, the existing research data also say that it is not clear how many people a day intake of cholesterol is the most appropriate. Guidelines do not give cholesterol intake line more or because it is unclear where the line should be drawn, but it is recommended not to eat too much cholesterol.
     The difference between "good cholesterol" and "bad cholesterol" does not exist 
The WeChat article also claims that "the argument about cholesterol is one of the biggest medical cheats in history! There's no such thing as bad cholesterol." "There is no such thing as low density lipoprotein cholesterol and high density lipoprotein cholesterol," he said.” 
This statement is not true.
      The so-called "bad cholesterol" refers to the "low density lipoprotein cholesterol" (LDL-C), is the most commonly mentioned health risk indicators, but also an important indicator of blood lipid testing. Since the 70s of last century, there have been a number of studies have found that the level of LDL-C and the risk of disease - the index is high, arteriosclerosis, clogging the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases have become larger. "Bad cholesterol" is "good cholesterol," which is known as high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), which is thought to be a sign of a lower health risk. 
      The latest medical studies have not broken the distinction between "bad cholesterol" and "good cholesterol," but that the results are more complex than in previous studies. Harvard School of public health in the introduction of cholesterol intake, it is still clear that the flow of cholesterol, especially low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, a great threat to health".
      Some flow legends claim that there is no difference between "good cholesterol" and "bad cholesterol" 
conclusion
      The new American dietary guidelines really cancel the restrictions on specific values of cholesterol intake, but it does not mean that cholesterol is "useful", to establish a healthy diet, still have to control the intake of cholesterol.
