A lot of red meat is probably one angle I can’t get behind. They are very high in cholesterol and triglycerides which are deadly for the heart over the long haul.

Is pretty clear that eating cholesterol doesn't lead to higher blood cholesterol. It just doesn't matter.

From ://nutritionfacts.org/video/dietary-guidelines-eat-as-little-dietary-cholesterol-as-possible/

"Most studies regarding cholesterol are bought and paid for by the egg industry. "

Its actually not "pretty clear"—about 25-30% of people are hyper responders who are impacted by dietary cholesterol.

The problem is that when people say "red meat" they're almost always referring to the modern "hamburger-like substance" which almost certainly high on the ultra-processed scale.

An actual steak or hamburger ground at a butcher would be a pretty gigantic step up for most people.

No, doctors still recommend limiting the intake of cholesterol in food, and also saturated fat. See:

No it’s just the contents of regular red meat. But there’s also a genetic component to it. Some people are more negatively affected than others.

You wouldn’t happen to know the specific genetic markers for this, it’s the only thing I’d like to know about myself so I could eat eggs guilt free. A cursory search keeps giving me not the results I want to see.

The whole thrust of modern nutritional research is to prove that your statement is wrong.

For example, a steak is better than pastrami. This is the point of not eating "ultra-processed" food.
