When Your Cholesterol Is Up, the Only Thing Hard Is Your Arteries
With all that milk left out for him every Christmas Eve, Santa's cholesterol must be as sky-high as his sleigh. Dietary cholesterol comes only from animal products such as milk. One 16-ounce glass of whole milk has a whopping 68 milligrams of cholesterol, while soy milk has zero cholesterol. Soy milk also lowers total cholesterol and LDL "bad" cholesterol levels, while cow's milk raises them.

What they neglect to inform the reader is that the liver normally makes 80% of the cholesterol our bodies require to function every single day .. only 20% comes from the diet. If we don't eat enough cholesterol, then the liver will manufacture the remainder anyway.
Also, a recent study showed that eating pure butter did indeed raise the LDL cholesterol level, but it was the large LDL particle type, which is actually believed to be beneficial. It's the smaller LDL particles that are bad, and these mostly come from hydrogenated polyunsaturated trans fats. http://forum.lowcarber.org/showthread.php?t=134607
