I hear "sugar bad, cholesterol fine" spiel all the time from reactionaries. Honestly it could be true, as I have looked into it. It's just coming from Joe Rogan types, so I can't be bothered to look into it.
Some people have an issue producing the enzymes that break down excess cholesterol, most people don't. Even on a zero cholesterol diet your liver will synthesize a shitload of it because it's a critical molecule within cell membranes. Obviously if you can't break it down then it will accumulate naturally and that's going to be bad. If you don't have any issue with those pathways then it's fine to intake a lot, you'll just recycle it into something else.
Yeah, this is how a lot of conspiracy grift shit works. They give you something true (sugar industry propaganda exists, medications aren't perfect) and then feed you their bullshit (cholesterol isn't even bad) so you'll buy something from them (fake medication that will probably kill you or rocks or something idk)
Refined sugar is bad for you. Foods high in cholesterol are associated with negative health outcomes, it probably isn't actually due to the cholesterol, but avoiding cholesterol and therefore those foods is a good thing.

The sugar lobby definitely tried to shift blame on to trans fats and cholesterol, but that doesn't make them good for you.
