They just had a big study released on a new drug that increases your HDL 30% and decreases your LDL by 130%. The study was supposed to revolutionize heart disease. But what they found out was shocking. There was no decrease mortality, and heart attack. So what the study concluded is that it's not about the numbers, it may be about how cholesterol is made and processed. When I conclude is that they don't know shite.

Interesting topic and congrats to you on your numbers. I sell one of the new LDL lowering meds which are so much better than statins.
The study you are referring to was trying to show raising HDLs would decrease mortality and what we are hearing is lowering LDL is so much more important

Do you have a link to the study?

Cholesterol is a lipid protein meaning it contains fat and protein. Ingested cholesterol would not be immediately shot into your blood stream because it is an animal/plant product, i.e. foreign antigen, which would trigger an immune response.
Cholesterol in the blood stream is produced by your body to protect damaged or inflamed areas. So, your cholesterol level is more of a indication of general inflammation. This general inflammation could have many sources, one of which is a shitty diet. Another cause which has been hypothesized is excessive cardiovascular exercise (hardcore distance runners and cyclists, not your run 10 miles a week, 5k warrior).
In other words, high-cholesterol foods are fine to eat, but like anything, excess will frick you up.

Yeah, that study was a bummer. I am in a new drug trial that I get shots to the stomach. Yes it hurts. But my LDL has dropped to the 50s. Its never been below 100. But I doubt its really affected the fact that my lipids are very very small and very sticky, both which are bad.

Because high cholesterol is indicative of a much larger problem, not necessarily a problem in and of itself.
