Fat stored in the body is the cause of heart disease, not fat consumption. Sugar is how you tell your body to store fat.

Sugar doesn't give you cholesterol. So how is cholesterol correlated to heart disease?

Fat storage, is for sure related to becoming overweight and the cause of many ailments.

Sugar does not contain cholesterol, but consuming an inappropriate amount of it will most certainly have a negative impact on your blood lipid profile.

Do you have a reference by chance? Would love to dig in a bit. I know that high sugar consumption raises triglycerides. But haven't seen anything yet on cholesterol.

One missing piece of this puzzle is that your body is perfectly able to make its own cholesterol even if you never eat any.
