The cholesterol/sat. fat hypothesis is a myth.
Do you not believe that eggs contain fat/cholesterol? Or are you saying that it isn’t bad for you?
The latter. Neither cholest nor sat. fat.

Lou Ferrigno said that cholesterol is what testosterone is made of.
Big Lou was right. Dave Tate has said similiar things as well.
The human body produces it’s own cholesterol, it’s non-essential. And doctors have been saying that a diet that is HIGH in saturated fat is bad. Whatever that means, I don’t know. If you are huge I guess 32 eggs isn’t a problem, but I recall learning that the perfect ratio of sat. fat in the diet is 1/3 to 1/3 mono and 1/3 polyunsatured fats.

little chemistry lesson here…
cholesterol is a sterol
testosterone is also a sterol
cholesterol is a building block of testosterone…
cholesterol can be found in anything including plants; when I worked at a vitamine E extraction plant we isolated 4 sterols from the product stream and yes one of them was cholesterol; btw the vitamine E was extracted from soybeans…
