The gentleman is merely repeating the views of an actual organization—believe it or not—called The International Network of Cholesterol Skeptics. http://www.thincs.org/

Their mission statement asserts that cholesterol research is simply a "campaign," that producers and manufacturers of animal food have needlessly suffered economic harm, that "millions of healthy people have been frightened and badgered into eating a tedious and flavorless diet or into taking potentially dangerous drugs for the rest of their lives," and scientific evidence in support of "the cholesterol campaign" is non-existent.

As Genisi suggests, one would expect their membership numbers to drop precipitously as time goes by.

Darn it. I was hoping there was a new study out saying high cholesterol might be good for you!
I have very high cholesterol, get severe muscle pain from statins, and have been procrastinating a visit to a specialist.
