It'll take at least a couple more years for insurance data to catch up. Right now they're still going off what the pharma industry tells them.
Something similar happened when statins (and blood pressure medicine in general) began to be heavily prescribed: for a while insurance rates stayed the same, but now anyone over 50 that gets prescribed blood pressure medicine has their insurance premium climb because that prescription in that age bracket is associated with early death.
I'll probably never understand how medical doctors manage to sleep at night, or how they managed to convince entire generations that the human body pushes butter directly into the veins. That's how they purport it at least. But always without any suggested mechanism for how the body processes dietary fat into calcium (the main constituent of cholesterol).
Cholesterol in the blood vessels is used to repair damage in the absence of the body's preferred repair tool: vitamin c, so I'm not at all surprised to learn it has an important role in brain function.

And Alzheimer’s.
Cholesterol is necessary to keep the brain working.
