Then the fat solvable vitamins can vary greatly. Anyway..... you get my point.

Good points. Like so many other general pronouncements about dietary influence of a food that can vary by variety, much more needs to be understood. I don't believe cheese can raise cholesterol depending on one's WOE, but the variety of cheese types and some of the processed cheeses on the market make the issue much more complex than simply stating that cheese "lowers cholesterol" particularly what is referred to as "bad" cholesterol. At some point someone will say (yes, recognizing Paul Harvey) "here's the rest of the story."
