I'll just put this in an oversimplified way. Bottom line is, cholesterol level is not relevant in relation to heart disease. Ratio of smaller cholesterol to larger is what matters. And what causes the bad larger cholesterol to appear is not by eating foods with cholesterol in it, it is your body's reaction to sugar and insulin.

So the best way to improve your cholesterol (not decrease it) is t eat food that is high in good cholesterol. Just about any solid animal fat is good, as are eggs of all types, including internal gonads (uni for instance)

I can imagine that if you were to eat a human with bad LDL levels, it would be bad fr you. But I think just about every animal you can eat would have good stuff.
