All I know is, my cholesterol is under control with medication and I do need to lose some weight.

Which is why most vegans go vegan in the first place. If you stop consuming cholesterol.... Makes sense , right?

Ingested cholesterol is only remotely related to serum cholesterol. Even if you eat none, the liver manufactures it.

You think that people go vegan mostly to lower cholesterol and lose weight?

I don’t think so, at least not in my personal experience of living among many of them.

Vegans are overwhelmingly females and easily the biggest reason for doing it is about their feelings that animals should not be eaten.

“As other researchers have reported (link is external) about vegetarians, our participants originally quit meat for a variety of reasons. The most common reasons in our study were ethical concerns about the treatment of animals (57%), followed by health and environmental reasons (15% each). “
