Cholesterol is needed in the body. The American heart Association recommends less then 300mg for the average person. If you have a cardiac condition then its 200mg per day.
This number adds up quickly... a Big Mac for instance is 80mg... one egg has about 210mg.
Then there is good cholesterol and bad cholesterol... I am utterly confused by the differences... why one is good vs bad... I know olive oil is good .. eggs used to be thought of as bad.... now it depends on who you talk to. Bacon grease is bad.... but fish oil is good (why opionion has changed on fish so dramaticly).
