Have you ever had your blood cholesterol tested? You know how they tell you not to eat beforehand?
It's trivial to see the effect of foods on serum cholesterol. It's not some unknown part of science that statistical analysis can only partially shed light on. Person eat egg; person cholesterol go up.
>Harvard ought to be a good source
"Harvard" isn't disagreeing with me here. The author is saying that dietary cholesterol with other fats is what determines disease risk. High dietary cholesterol with high saturated fat increases risk of coronary heart disease.
>>The amount of cholesterol in your diet and the amount of cholesterol in your blood are very different things.

The egg industry claim is that "high dietary cholesterol doesn't raise serum cholesterol". The word "serum" means in your blood. We are concerned with what foods raise your blood cholesterol (because high serum cholesterol is a necessary condition for heart disease). While it might be the case in some studies that high dietary cholesterol IN ISOLATION FROM OTHER FOODS doesn't raise serum cholesterol, high cholesterol eaten with the foods it's most commonly eaten with does cause high serum cholesterol.
>...Your testosterone will be tremendously low...
The reason this is all relevant is because people's cholesterol is way too high and heart disease has become a leading cause of death in developed nations.
