I've read that just because a certain food is high in cholesterol doesn't mean consuming it increases you cholesterol level.

There's a lot of confusion about cholesterol. You can't survive without cholesterol. It performs many vital body functions. The issue is when your arteries start to get clogged up with plaque. This is caused by inflammation of the arteries which in turn is caused by your body struggling to metabolize excess amounts of sugar or extremely poor omega-3: omega-6 ratio in your body.
Eggs are great. Lift weights. Eat eggs. Win at life.

Balance of different fat and carb intakes, along with activity level, bodyweight.
So yeah, high cholesterol foods are just fine for anyone who lives a healthy, active lifestyle and has a normal cholesterol rating. Though for some people genetics seem to influence their cholesterol and in the case of high cholesterol without an apparent cause - lowering cholesterol intake might still be a good idea just to play it safe.Owner of:

Your diet will affect your blood cholesterol levels but not in the sense that eating dietary cholesterol will directly increase cholesterol in the blood.
It's not so much that foods are going to increase your blood cholesterol, but that adopting a healthy diet, body composition, and activity level can reduce your risk of cardiovascular diseases. However, genetics plays a huge role in this. Some people will not be able to control their cholesterol levels without meds.
