Right. Excess cholesterol is just excreted in the feces. The issue where cholesterol becomes dangerous is in the progression of atherosclerosis. So, that makes cholesterol a risk factor, but the primary cause remains oxidative stress in the arterial lining that leads to plaque formation. I'd still advise people to eat sensible amounts of healthy food. A couple eggs for breakfast won't kill you, but eating a dozen a day seems unwise.
