I don't think so.  And I think there's no bad cholesterol either.  The
last papers I read say that a mildly high cholesterol (of any kind)
gives you benefits.  For instance, there's a certain correlation between
high cholesterol (of the ``bad'' kind) and good brain health.

The human body contains more than one type of cholesterol.  One is
good, the other not so much.
Anyone can write an article about their beliefs about cholesterol. 
I prefer to listen to my doctor.

Agreed.  Of course, their opinions are often highly interesting and more
often than not they have tools I do not, so I do get help with them on a
daily basis.

Thanks!  It turns out I don't trust either class.  Doctors are a set of
professionals just like any other---full of dilettantes.  (Gell-Mann
amnesia effect might be a useful keyword here.)  When I hear the average
professional write or talk in my area, it's often full of nonsense.  I
don't think it's different in any other area.
