You are way out of date on nutrition.
What you eat has little effect on cholesterol levels.
The original study your ideas are based on was bunk.
Really? Please link me to a nutrition, medical or scientific article which supports what you say. Everything I find regarding cholesterol, says the biggest influence on blood cholesterol level is the mix of fats and carbohydrates in your diet and not the amount of cholesterol you eat from food.
The medications used to lower cholesterol sometimes produce have negative side effects. I've not experienced any of those. Statins are a common cholesterol medicine, but for some people they can cause severe side effects like muscle damage, dark-colored urine, liver damage, increased blood sugar or type 2 diabetes, and memory loss or confusion.
I am guilty of consuming a moderate amount of saturated and trans fats, such as those found in processed foods, meats, butter, cream, and cheese. My doctor has prescribed Simvastatin for decades. As of February 2022, my lipid panel indicated everything is within range except LDL which is high.
