LOL! From that Prevention article:

So just how much cholesterol can you eat without raising your blood cholesterol levels? Well, theoretically, quite a bit—”I accept these recommendations,” says Nissen, who was not on the committee. “The statement that ‘cholesterol is not a nutrient of concern’ suggests no major worry for the average person.”

That is a very funny way to put it.

The plaques that line our arteries are not just cholesterol, which is a small portion, anyway. It is mast cells gone crazy, cell debris, antibodies, etc., as well.
