From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salted_duck_egg
According to the Health Promotion Board of Singapore, one salted duck egg yolk weighing about 70g contains 359mg of cholesterol. The recommended cholesterol intake for a healthy diet should be less than 300mg a day. A single salted egg yolk exceeds the recommended cholesterol intake and if taken regularly, there might be a greater risk of elevating blood cholesterol level. However, many health experts in the West and in the rest of Asia believe not all the cholesterol in an egg can be absorbed, thus the actual negative impact is much less, although not established at this time.
