No, the cholesterol is in the yolk.

Some foods that you can eat to combat high cholesterol are lean cuts of meat and chicken, low-fat dairy products, egg whites, breads,cereals, and fresh fruits.
An egg usually contains about 200 plus mgs. of calories. High calorie foods should be avoided in order to be safe from hypertension. According to leading experts, a healthy person should limit high calorie foods (of 300 or so mgs. of cholesterol) intake. To remove the risk of eating too much calories, lose the egg yolks, and eat only the egg whites.
AnswerAre you thinking of tapioca pudding or just plain tapioca? The cholesterol content is different for each. With tapioca pudding it depends on if whole, 2%, 1%, or skim milk is used in the recipe as well as if egg yolks are used or just egg whites. In ready-made packages of pudding, I would suggest looking at the label for cholesterol content. The cholesterol is good. Too high is bad and would harm your body more than benefit it.For plain tapioca (the dry pearls) there is no cholesterol. If you are concerned about cholesterol, I suggest buying the dry pearls and then using skim milk and egg whites in your preparation. This will decrease the amount of cholesterol in the final product.
No
Meringue itself does not contain cholesterol, as it is primarily made from egg whites and sugar. Egg whites are cholesterol-free, while sugar does not contain any cholesterol either. However, if meringue is made with additional ingredients like cream or butter, those components could contribute to cholesterol levels. Overall, plain meringue is not likely to impact cholesterol levels significantly.
There's allot if cholesterol in the yolk.
Beat the egg whites with your mixer on high speed until the beaten whites form stiff peaks.
Egg yolks are perhaps the number one food high in cholesterol that should be avoided. The yolk of an egg contains more cholesterol than any other food. Egg whites are fine to eat. Butter is another food that should be eliminated from the diet because it is very unhealthy. Margarine is a good substitution for butter. Whenever possible, saturated oils should be avoided. Cheese is a high in cholesterol food that should not be included in the diet. Low-fat cheeses are the better choice. Fatty meats and shellfish such as steak, hamburger, ribs, roasts, clams, shrimp and oysters are high in cholesterol and should also be avoided.
Processed eggs (aka egg whites) are perfectly safe as well as nutritious. A standard single serving of egg whites yields around 100 calories and 26 grams of protein with virtually no fat. Processed eggs are a recommended alternative for those with high cholesterol or at risk for heart disease.
The yolk is high in cholesterol
Egg Yolks are the highest Cholesterol food known to man. One large egg has about 213 milligrams (mg) of cholesterol - all of which is found in the yolk. Still, as long as you don't overdo it you will probably be OK. See here: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/cholesterol/HQ00608
