Its not even about lowering Cholesterol. Its about just wanting to be healthy.
"Want to be healthy? Stop eating sugar (and consuming alcohol)" -> Is my goto phrase these days when people complain about their health.
Cholesterol itself has been falsely correlated with risk for heart diseases ever since the Massachusetts study paper that was published in 70s that was jumped on by the fraudulent scienctists who picked and pulled numbers to push narratives. One of the narrative was the cholesterol dangers.
This gave rise to a whole host of narratives - Meat is bad for you, Fat is the worst thing, Pushing seed oils, Veganism etc etc, and at the same time it also allowed Big Pharma to make billions by pushing toxins like Statins and cause people to actually become sick and make them dependant on medication for the rest of their lives.
About 50 years ago, the cereal industry tested powdered eggs and came up with the findings that it caused high cholesterol. Then they marketed the hell out of that. When I was at a doctor's office getting my blood pressure tested, I asked the nurse if it was true that your brain is 75% cholesterol. She said "try 80" I was shocked. I asked "what does the cholesterol lowering drugs to to your brain?" She said "exactly" She wouldn't talk much, but she definitely was conflicted in her job.

Wasn't it sugar companies that had their hands in pockets to blame cholesterol?
That's what I heard. They funded the whole campaign against evil eggs.
Eggs is one of the best super foods we can eat. I eat 4 eggs most days.
