Seems that nutritionists have finally caught up with science. Diet Advisory Panels are about to change their guidelines on dietary cholesterol.
After , what, over 50 years? of telling us one egg/day will bring you to your max daily limit (of cholesterol) they finally accepted the fact that only 20% of blood cholesterol comes from diet (I read figures as low as 10%). If you don't have enough in your diet your body will make it.
The so called bad cholesterol LDL is not cholesterol, but a protein that transports cholesterol AND triglycerides. The LDLs could carry little cholesterol and a lot of triglyceride. There is a strong correlation between heart disease risk and high triglyceride levels. Not so much between the disease and high cholesterol levels.
High tryglicerides levels are associated with high intake of refined carbs (sugar, fructose, syrups, starch, white flour and rice).
