Well Glen, I have had 3 minor strokes 8 years ago and have to take a far too many prescription drugs. If you think you are right -- OK -- it's your health you may fuck up
Eat 3 eggs a day with bacon and maybe you will be in the percentile of people that do not end up with atherosclerosis or any ill effects. More likely, you will advance the date of your death -- your choice.
Eating 3 eggs a day with bacon is 200% of the recommended daily dietary cholesterol.
The reason that that report may have some validity is that vegetables contain a lot of fiber.

Evidence suggests that soluble fiber is more effective at lowering cholesterol, but both types of fiber are important for your health. One of the ways soluble fiber may lower blood cholesterol is through its ability to reduce the amount of bile reabsorbed in the intestines. It works like this: When fiber interferes with absorption of bile in the intestines, the bile is excreted in the feces. To make up for this loss of bile, the liver makes more bile salts. The body uses cholesterol to make bile salts. So in order to obtain the cholesterol necessary to make more bile salts, the liver increases its production of LDL receptors.
These receptors are responsible for pulling cholesterol out of LDL molecules in the bloodstream. Therefore, the more bile salts are made from the liver, the more LDL cholesterol is pulled from the blood. There is more to be learned about the relationship between soluble fiber and cholesterol, however. It is also possible that one of the short-chain fatty acids produced by the fermentation of soluble fiber in the large intestines may inhibit the amount of cholesterol produced by the liver.
Research has shown that increasing soluble fiber by 5 to 10 g a day reduces LDL cholesterol by about five percent. Oat bran and oatmeal, as well as psyllium and barley, are rich in beta-glucan, a soluble form of fiber, which has been shown to lower total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol.
Evidence suggests that more than 11 g of beta-glucan from oats can lower cholesterol up to 14.5 percent. (In one study, 3 g of beta-glucan was equivalent to about 2.5 ounces of oat bran.) In fact, according to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), foods such as whole oats and barley that contain at least 0.75 g of beta-glucan soluble fiber per serving can state on their label that they may reduce the risk of heart disease, along with a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol.

Beans have a lot of fiber and are a reasonable protein source.
But I was a smart-ass too. I smoked -- nicotine is very bad for the vascular system ( vaping is a nicotine injection system). I ate too many cholesterol rich foods. So, If you want to fuck you health up good -- that is the way to do it. I loved liverwurst and crackers
I get my medical ''internet advice'' confirmed by a MD before I make assumptions. At times my PA MD acknowledges that what I read was (or may be ) right. So, you never know but don't make assumptions on medical internet data. I took B12 and formic acid for years with little consequence. Fish Oil Omega3 has conflicting data too. Medical knowledge and theory is always changing. Like the weather sometimes.
Just don't be stupid and try to beat the odds when it may kill you.
