Vegans are animals, so naturally they are made of cholesterol just like all other animals. Your liver and other cells in your body produce about 75 percent of the cholesterol in your blood. The other 25 percent of cholesterol comes from foods. A vegans liver doesn't function optimally due to a diet that lacks a ton of nutrients, so they can't produce as much good cholesterol as someone that consumes meats and saturated animal fats. Nor do they get the extra cholesterol that comes from eating animals.

Do you get cholesterol from eating cholesterol? Shrimp are high but they don't raise cholesterol in otherwise healthy people. Kinda like Collagen, eat all you want but it wont matter. The body breaks it into aminos.

Chol is formed from Acetyl CoA - from glucose and its metabolites, and Acetoacetyl CoA - from the breakdown of carbs and lipids.
The chol which causes a problem is from to much serum (meaning - "in the blood") that forms deposits in cells. Eating cholesterol contributes only a small part of the deposits, mostly the deposits are formed from saturated (animal) and trans fats (animal).
