Oh my, stop the presses back in 2003, has this been refuted?
I'm sure the drug companies want us to still worry about cholesterol so they can pump us with statins. Ask your doctor.

Unlike heart disease, dietary fat does not seem to be associated with risk of stroke, finds a study in this week’s BMJ.
Researchers followed 43,732 healthy middle-aged men for 14 years to
examine the association between intake of total fat, specific types of
fat, and cholesterol and the risk of stroke. They assessed dietary
intake by using recognised food frequency questionnaires.
After adjusting for age, smoking, and other factors that could
affect the results, they found no evidence that the amount or type of
dietary fat affects the risk of developing stroke.
They also evaluated risk of strokes according to consumption of
selected foods rich in fat or cholesterol, including red meat, high fat
dairy products, nuts and eggs and found no significant link with stroke.
“These findings do not support associations between intake of total
fat, cholesterol, or specific types of fat and risk of stroke in men,”
conclude the authors.
