    Dietary cholesterol has little to no effect on blood cholesterol.

    TRUE.
    For the majority of the population, dietary cholesterol has little to no effect on actual measured blood lipid concentrations.
    A number of references and studies support this fact.
    Here is a link to a summary from Harvard.

    ^^^This^^^

    totally agree!

    I had no idea! Can anyone elaborate and explain it better for me?

    Your body produces cholesterol on its own.


    Facts on Cholesterol. You can find studies showing that high cholesterol levels will make you live longer and more immune to infections & diseases than low cholesterol levels. More facts:

    Your Body Makes Cholesterol. Your liver makes 3-6x more cholesterol than you can get eating eggs and other animal products.
    Cholesterol is Vital To Your Body. You need it for the production of steroid hormones like Testosterone and to build & repair cells.
    Dietary Cholesterol Isn’t Bound to Blood Cholesterol. There’s no relation to cholesterol & saturated fat intake to higher cholesterol levels.
