Yeah, idk. Sounds like diet does have some effect on cholesterol.

These recommendations are based on controlled clinical studies that have shown that dietary cholesterol increases serum total and LDL-C in a dose-response manner (6) and, based on an extensive literature, increasing serum total and LDL-C increases the risk of CVD…
Although the correlation between serum LDL-C and CVD risk is well accepted, the interindividual response to dietary cholesterol is quite variable
…
Table 7 (48) shows that the approximate LDL-C reduction when dietary cholesterol is decreased to <200 mg/d is 3–5%. As is apparent, other dietary interventions elicit a greater cholesterol-lowering response, i.e., decreasing saturated fat to <7% of total energy intake, losing 10 lb of body weight, and incorporating plant sterols/stanols into the diet.

Doesn’t sound conclusive either way.
