Does eating foods with high cholesterol NOT effect your bloods cholesterol level?
I’ve heard that eating things like egg yolks will actually have little effect on your bodies cholesterol level, which sounds fishy, but if its true…then why do people suffer from high cholesterol in the first place?

This is actually true.
Most cholesterol in the body is actually synthesized by our bodies in the liver. Cholesterol is synthesized from dietary saturated fats in the liver. The proportion of saturated fats compared to unsaturated fats is the major determinant of plasma cholesterol levels, not dietary cholesterol.
People suffer from high cholesterol for genetic factors, or from dietary factors, like eating too much saturated fat, drinking too much, or being overweight.
