Heart disease is America's biggest killer. There is a lot of data that eating cholesterol effects disease rates including heart disease, cancer, etc.

If you study disease rates for those eating cholesterol and those replacing it with a plant based diet, eating cholesterol is higher.

While you have a particular point about eating cholesterol, measuring cholesterol, and related disease rates - are you suggesting people's health is not negatively affected by eating cholesterol?

Here's a simple study eating an egg versus not, it compares stopping eating cholesterol to stopping smoking. [0]
