Well nothing that comes from a plant has cholesterol, that
has to come from an animal. But the body can take those
fats and produce cholesterol from any kind of oil.
Vegetable oil fried potato chips contain no cholesterol, but
the body will take those fats and convert it for you.
Niacin might help a few, but some people do a better job of
making cholesterol than others. In my case it makes no
difference what I eat or don't, for I tried it once. NO red
meat of any kind, no fried foods, everything else extremely
low fat. My BP dropped, my weight dropped, and my
cholesterol when from 284 to 283. I have been on statins
every since. For many people genes are more important than
what you eat.
Exactly, some people can eat anything and never have
hardening of the arteries. Excercize seems to make a
difference, especially to the ratio of low to high density
lipids. The ratio _may_ be more important than the total
lipid level. Cholesterol is made by the liver so, as you
say, can be high even when intake of saturated fats is low.
In general the incidence of coronary artery disease is lower
in cultures that do not eat much meat. For instance, it is
extremely low among Japanese who eat a traditional Japanese
diet but become the same as the U.S. among Japanese who eat
an Americanized diet.
All this is very OT here but is important enough to
bring to people's attention. Unfortunately, a lot of stuff
which tasts good is just plain bad for you.
