Cholesterol by itself is nonsense. There's been several studies that have shown -- once the high risk categories are removed from the sample set (smokers, obesity, sedentary lifestyles, high blood pressure, high blood sugar), that the majority of the remaining samples that died of heart disease actually had LOW cholesterol.

For one such example, see:

Then there are the studies that show for women, there are more heart attacks in women in the low range of cholesterol than in the mid range.
