The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.

Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
most of the cholesterol in our body is endogenous meaning we made it and then we recirculate it maybe about 15% is exogenous maybe less it would depend on a number of other factors but the majority of the cholesterol that you eat and every once in a while you see a funny case study and there was one this week about you know guy eats 30 eggs a day and has low cholesterol how is this possible it's sort of an idiotic discussion that I can't believe we're still having even Ancel Keys noted this a million years ago dietary cholesterol plays a very trivial role in the circulating cholesterol pool because it has a certified sidechains that can't be absorbed
so the body makes a ton of cholesterol virtually all the cholesterol in the body is made by the body and it gets recirculated throughout the body
