please see some notes from a few articles below. Read articles for detailed understanding why so many of us have high cholesterol despite fairly clean diets.
"Well, there at least six key underlying processes that can lead to hypercholesterolemia:
1. Metabolic dysfunction
2. chronic infections like H. pylori or even latent viral infections
3. Gut dysbiosis permeability
4. Poor thyroid function
5. Environmental toxins, especially heavy metals.
6. Genetic.

"LDL and HDL levels are significantly reduced during acute babesiosis, suggesting that cholesterol depletion may predict disease severity. Pathogen and host factors may contribute to a reduction in serum cholesterol levels during acute babesiosis."
"Treating SIBO for a month followed by re-running their cholesterol panel, ferritin and CRP values resulted in lowering of all of the values back into normal range.
In these cases, SIBO was driving the inflammation that raised their blood markers. It is reasonable to consider the presence of SIBO as a major contributing factor in any inflammatory conditions."
"If you have increased levels of cholesterol, it is at least in part because of increased inflammation in your body. The cholesterol is there to do a job: help your body to heal and repair. Conventional medicine misses the boat entirely when they recommend that lowering cholesterol with drugs is the way to reduce your risk of heart attacks, because what is actually needed is to address whatever is causing your body damage — and leading to increased inflammation and then increased cholesterol. It would seem much smarter to reduce the extra need for the cholesterol — the excessive damage that is occurring, the reason for the chronic inflammation."
"Optimize your vitamin D levels. Research shows the extreme importance of appropriate sun exposure for normalizing your cholesterol levels and preventing heart disease.
Reduce, with the plan of eliminating, grains and sugars in your diet. Ideally, you’ll want to consume a many fresh leafy greens and vegetables, too.
Make sure you are getting plenty of high quality fish oil
Other heart-healthy foods include olive oil, coconut and coconut oil, organic eggs, avocados, raw nuts and seeds, and organic grass-fed meats as appropriate for your nutritional type.
Exercise daily. Even a 20min power-walk will do.
Address stress! Use prayer and meditation on scripture
Avoid smoking or drinking alcohol excessively.
Be sure to get plenty of good, restorative sleep."
"In the United States, the idea that cholesterol is evil is very much engrained in most people’s minds. This is not true! Cholesterol is a vital component of every cell membrane. In other words, there is no life on Earth that can live without cholesterol. Lowering cholesterol too much increases one’s risk of dying. Cholesterol is also a precursor to all of the steroid hormones. You cannot make estrogen, testosterone, cortisone and a host of other vital hormones without cholesterol."
