Cholesterol is a vital part of our cell membranes, without it we plain die, and most people CANNOT affect their blood levels by more than +/- 10 percent with dietary changes. Eat all the eggs and butter you like Occhi B)

I do indeed, my eggs are a morning ritual at least twice a week and both days on weekends. I do like to vary how I cook them, and generally prefer olive oil to butter in most cases. I still eat dry toast, and have ever since that diet. For some reason, I just don't care for butter on my toast anymore, and rarely jelly. Weird how and when a habit changes.
I am one of the lucky ones whose genetic predisposition does not seem to be at the really high cholesterol end.
I also believe, though can't cite scientific support for "onions thin the blood and counteract fat." I have no clue as to the idea's merit. I love grilled onions, sliced onions on sandwiches, sautee'd onions, and so on. My excuse to call it healthy is that an onion is a vegetable, and one I enjoy.
