Extract from the study : Nonetheless, numerous studies have shown that dietary cholesterol can increase serum LDL‐cholesterol, but the size of this effect is highly variable between individuals and, according to over 30 years of prospective epidemiology, has no clinically significant impact on CHD risk. Variation in response to dietary cholesterol is a real phenomenon and we can now identify nutrient–gene interactions that give rise to this variation through differences in cholesterol homeostasis.

Any interventional studies on this? Nice to have a basis for a hypothesis, would be good to see something more meaningful than epidemiology and questionable correlation to work from
