They fed one person a couple high fat diets and it lowered cholesterol a little bit.

That's not anyone. That person is a LMHR (lean mass hyper-responder). His LDL went from 225 on "normal" diet to 280 eating fewer calories and to 190 eating higher calories. (And they discuss 20+ people with similar results.)

Not only does this provide evidence of the LEM (lipid-energy model), but it also shows how variable LDL is. I've had LDL change in 3 days. (Fasting 4.5 days caused my LDL to increase significantly; eating high calorie, high saturated fat -- cups of cream -- caused my LDL to plummet.)

And it is yet more evidence that eating higher saturated fat can DECREASE LDL, not increase it.
