The current dietary recommendation
for cholesterol consumption is only 300 mg daily, not even close to what the body needs and produces naturally.
Most of the early research suggesting that
cholesterol consumption was unhealthy was done in rabbits, who don't eat any animal products.
The production of the fat burning testosterone, for example, depends heavily on fats and
cholesterol consumption.
After adjusting for cholesterol and saturated fat intake they found that mono unsaturated was negatively associated with CHD mortality, meaning mono unsaturated fat appeared beneficial when saturated fat and
cholesterol consumption was low.
