According to nutritionists, among various foods, quail eggs have the highest proportion of cholesterol. Every 100 grams of quail eggs contain 3640 milligrams of cholesterol, which is 3.1 times higher than the cholesterol content in egg yolk, 61 times higher than lean pork, and 280 times higher than milk.
The increase of cholesterol in the human body is the main cause of arteriosclerosis. Therefore, it is advisable for the elderly and patients with cerebrovascular diseases to eat fewer quail eggs.
