you're redirecting to a similar but unrelated claim. the claim under scrutiny is:

> eating cholesterol-rich food raises blood levels of cholesterol and damages the heart

not whether or not high cholesterol to heart disease generally is impactful. that's an important distinction, and what you've posted here isn't evidence for or against that.



I asked the OP to clarify, because I think they are trying to make both points: that cholesterol in food does not affect cholesterol in blood and that high cholesterol (of X kind) does not affect the risk of disease.

The way I understand it, cholesterol in food is correlated with cholesterol in blood, it's just that thee are other factors that may be more important, like genetics. Well, genetics.
