Then you should provide a citation. Here's a quote from the Harvard health blog[1]:
"A summary of the committee’s December 2014 meeting says “Cholesterol is not considered a nutrient of concern for overconsumption.” Translation: You don’t need to worry about cholesterol in your food.
"Why not? There’s a growing consensus among nutrition scientists that cholesterol in food has little effect on the amount of cholesterol in the bloodstream. And that’s the cholesterol that matters."

- Johnny_Brahms 10y agoWell, the discussion was not about cholesterol, but about fat in general, about which the blog writes > A better focus is on reducing saturated fat and trans fat in the diet, which play greater roles in damaging blood vessels than dietary cholesterol.
- shanusmagnus 10y agoCholesterol in food is not what almost anybody has been concerned about for the last twenty years. Cholesterol produced in the blood as a result of saturated fat intake, or as a consequence of lipid metabolism in the face of tonically elevated glucose load, is another matter. Anyway, a starting point for your literature review on a contrary school of thought (which is, at present, the dominant school of thought) can be found at the American Heart Association [1].
