In addition to this, to be classified as decaf, the product only needs to contain 97% less caffeine than traditional coffee Isn t it dangerous to eat more than 3 eggs per week, will I increase my cholesterol? No, it isn t dangerous. Eggs do contain cholesterol, but have little to no impact on a person s blood cholesterol, so are safe to include regularly in your diet. What brand of Stock should I buy?
