Oversimplification. If you are referring to high cholesterol levels, then you’re right. But cholesterol is also absolutely essential for several biological processes, especially brain function. It’s also not something we get from eating it, as it is something our body makes, in response to what we eat.
Depriving yourself of the things you need for your body to make it, would be lethal.
Cholesterol, when undamaged - not glycated - not oxidized - is extremely healthy. This is commonly called pattern A “light and fluffy” cholesterol.
It’s a necessity for human life, you would die with zero cholesterol. Elevated LDL is only a sign of a problem when the elevation is due to damage (and the liver stops recycling the LDL, hence the buildup of the damaged type in the LDL reading).
The body, when unmolested by elevated insulin, produces exactly as much cholesterol as needed.
