If you get your diet info from sources that profit from your attention you're forever going to be confused about whether eggs are deadly and your wine makes you live longer.
Someone not willing to learn should get their advice from a dietician if that's an option. Those willing to learn should dive a bit deeper and question assumptions. This article assumes cholesterol is bad and should be minimized. Is that true? Why? How does cholesterol operate in my body? Who might be profiting from this assumption? Is cholesterol a major factor in a sugar metabolism disease (diabetes)?
Seems like many dieticians still promote diets based purely on the lipid hypothesis, so I support your position in theory, in practice it doesn't always seem quite that simple.
You're not wrong.
