Do eggs from a hen that was with rooster have cholesterol?
All eggs, regardless of whether the hen was with a rooster or not, contain cholesterol. The presence of a rooster doesn't influence the cholesterol content of the eggs.
Here's why:
* Cholesterol is produced by the hen: The hen's body produces cholesterol, and it's incorporated into the egg yolk.
* Fertilization doesn't affect cholesterol: Whether an egg is fertilized or not has no impact on its cholesterol content. Fertilization just determines if the egg can develop into a chick.
So, whether or not a hen has been with a rooster doesn't change the amount of cholesterol in her eggs.
