It is entirely possible that she's right. I'm vegan and don't eat cholesterol, but high cholesterol does run in my family and mine needs watching (though fortunately I don't need to take medication for it). Not that I consider that a good " excuse " for eating animal products that contain cholesterol--after all, if my cholesterol is already borderline even *without* eating anything that contains cholesterol, it'd probably be a lot higher if I *weren't* vegan. And your friend's would probably be lower than it is if she *were* vegan. But it still might be high, because the body does produce cholesterol on its own, and high cholesterol can be caused by genetic factors as well as by diet.
