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.
