We all have cholesterol: can't live without. Trouble is that exactly what the import of high levels might be is a matter of doubt. "Good" cholesterol and "bad" ditto is an oversimplification. From what I can gather it's the very light fractions of LDL that are the main cause for concern, i.e. triglycerides & similar.
Also: if you're from the North you likely have a proportion of Norse blood in you, and many Scandinavians bear a gene that raises the amount of LDL manufactured by the body. In that case, reducing dietary cholesterol might not have much of an effect. Mrs T42 falls into this category, and only serious exercise keeps her triglycerides down.
