So, how much cholesterol is in cream cheese? About 27 to 30 milligrams per serving—a perfectly reasonable number for most diets. It’s not a superfood, but it’s also not a villain. You can enjoy it without guilt, as long as you keep an eye on portion sizes.
Next time someone raises an eyebrow at your bagel order, just say: “It’s less cholesterol than an egg, less saturated fat than a doughnut, and it’s fermented by happy bacteria.” Then take a big, bite. You’ve earned that creamy, tangy goodness. And your body knows how to handle it.
