Cholesterol is only found in animal fats not vegetable oils. No matter what hype you have heard to the contrary that is an immutable true fact. When something says cholesterol free it means it comes from non-animal sources and nothing more than that.

Another immutable true fact is that no matter how much animal cholesterol you consume you body breaks it down and puts it back together as human cholesterol. Your body can make human cholesterol out of any fats the body consumes including vegetable fats. Follow your doctor's advice but to me it all reads like a way to take advantage of the health conscious with the meaningless claim of low cholesterol.

And do not forget that only one third of the US population has a problem with cholesterol so don't deprive yourself of the taste without being tested and consulting your doctor. That means getting a cholesterol test that includes measuring the LDL (bad) cholesterol component.
