What I have found and read recently-ish about as well is that dietery cholesterol will actually not have any bad effect on the cholesterol in your bloodstream. If I eat eggs and bacon my cholesterol basically stays the same as if I don't and my body just manufactures more of the bad stuff.

This is not true for all people, sensitivity to dietary cholesterol intake is individually variable. My cholesterol responds very strongly to dietary cholesterol intake, when I do not eat eggs yolk, shrimp etc, my cholesterol is close to ideal. When I do eat them my numbers go extremely high and I am recommended to take a statin. I am in my 40s and this has been very consistent since I was in my 20s. If you read more studies related to this you will find that there are absolutely populations of dietary cholesterol responders and non-responders.
