I think a “preventive” for cholesterol is never eating anything with saturated fat in it. I don’t eat pork or beef, butter,, no pizza, )which I hate anyway) , and gerally avoid satfat.

extra-virgin olive oil is great for sautéing alaskan salmon, which has no satfat, nor does cod or catfish. all uber yum.

Butter is GREAT for Salmon cooking.

Olive oil does have some saturated fat: 14% by volume or about 2 grams of saturated fat per tablespoon. By comparison, butter has 7.5 grams of saturated fat in a tablespoon, and canola oil only has 1 gram. No idea which of these three is actually healthiest, and may totally vary from person to person.
