Yup, ingesting cholesterol doesn't lead to higher blood serum cholesterol. Although in this case the article was about ingesting saturated fat leading to higher blood serum cholesterol (in my personal experience this is true, and switching to a low saturated fat diet dropped my LDL cholesterol and triglycerides).
In general it matters what you replace the saturated fat with, though: you should replace it with unsaturated fat. Replacing it with carbs/simple sugars can apparently elevate LDL cholesterol and triglycerides: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC2943062/ https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC2943062/

- KempyKolibri 2y agoTechnically speaking it does, but only if you’re starting from a point of very low dietary cholesterol intake or you’re genetically predisposed to have high sterol absorption. So if you’re, say, a vegan with very little cholesterol intake then adding some would result in significantly higher serum cholesterol. However, for most people in western populations, they’re already above the point where the effect tails off, which is why dietary guidelines generally don’t focus on dietary cholesterol anymore.
