> Dietary cholesterol is actually pretty weakly correlated with cardiovascular disease

This is exactly what I'm talking about - the opposite of what you say is actually true.

You're working on old research. All newer research points to no correlation. Even worse, all attempts to reduce CVD by reducing blood cholesterol have completely failed as well, in several large scale clinically controlled trials.

Here is an example of such a modern study:

> For years, dietary cholesterol was implicated in increasing blood cholesterol levels leading to the elevated risk of CVD. To date, extensive research did not show evidence to support a role of dietary cholesterol in the development of CVD.

> The investigator’s work and publication costs are funded by an institutional start-up fund.

That's why. New "research" is mostly paid-for industry propaganda, and you've found a piece of it.
