see cholesterolcode.com

There's evidence for another phenotype called lean mass hyper responder. Basically you can eat white bread and cheap sausage for a week, that will cut your cholesterol in half. But you'll feel horrible. Also glycerides will go up.

The article basically states that a higher cholesterol (up to a certain point) reduces the hazard ratio. Therefore cutting your cholesterol in half does seem to increase your health risk (assuming your cholesterol was not extremely high).

IANAD, but that may be explained by body fat being reduced as it gets into blood as cholesterol and triglycerides to be burned.

Any saturated fats when eating healthy? (eggs, coconut oil, other tropical oils, butter, cheese, margarine, etc)
