This. Cholesterol is not bad for you. How can it be? It's something your body makes. If you eat more then your body makes a bit less, if you eat less, your body makes what it needs. It needs it to build things and repair things.
Inflammation is what causes the problems, your body uses cholesterol to fix those problems.
One of the inflammatory foods is omega 6 oil - vegetable oil, sunflower oil, canola oil etc. Because they are highly processed.
Omega 3 oils - olive oil, coconut oil, butter - are much healthier.
The other inflammatory food is sugar. Cut out vegetable oils and sugar and stop worrying about your cholesterol.
