Yes cholesterol is a good thing. HDL is also very good. However the cholesterol in the diet is not required for health, and hdl can be increased from the consumption of mono and polyunsaturated fats from things like olive oil.
You know, I got failed on a biochemistry exam for that very same opinion.
You do realise that olive oil, coconut oil, canola oil, sesame oil and any other vegetable oils contain cholesterol.....?
You are also aware then I take it that cholesterol is a precursor to many hormones and a solvent for many vitamins....?
To say that cholesterol is "not required for health" is very stupid and only proves you were asleep in biology and biochemistry class.
