The FDA only reversed their stance on dietary cholesterol because they admitted that the amount of cholesterol that gets absorbed in the diet is small compared to the amount of cholesterol the body makes endogenously. I don’t think they are anywhere close to saying serum cholesterol does not have a role in causing CVD or is a risk factor for the disease.In contrast, the mainstream medical and nutrition industry recommends the exact opposite - i.e. eating 6-7 servings daily of resistant (fermentable) starches and supplementing with plenty of other fibers such as pectin whenever possible. Why? Because soluble fibers lower cholesterol. Well, the FDA already reversed its stance on cholesterol, but the ads for soluble fiber became even more intense after that.
