I’m trying to help my aunt plan her meals around cholesterol. But, there is SO much contradictory information on which foods are good or bad, and there’s apparently debate on whether cholesterol is actually connected with heart disease(?!).

Like, I want to help but this is so confusing for me!

Dietary cholesterol is almost meaningless. The vast majority of cholesterol in your bloodstream is made in your liver. LDL in particular can be bad for your cardiovascular system. This can be managed to some degree by lifestyle changes (i.e losing weight, eating mostly unsaturated fats, that sorta thing), but at a certain point it comes down to genetics and you need medicines if you want to change the lipid profile.
