As early as 1993, it was found that doing the cholesterol treatment of rabbits, which caused circulatory disease, they found that if they gave the same amount of cholesterol to the rabbits and also some thyroid hormone, it didn't hurt their circulatory system. And the experimental cholesterol treatments have turned out to be using a toxic form of oxidized cholesterol. And if you just leave cholesterol sitting in a bottle too long before doing the experiment, it's likely to become oxidized. And some of the cooking practices that are recommended create the toxic oxidized form of cholesterol.
