We're pretty sure cholesterol doesn't cross the blood-brain barrier. However, in the early stages of fetal development their bodies aren't able to synthesize cholesterol yet, so they get some from the mother. We're still not sure how much of a mother's dietary cholesterol compared to synthesized cholesterol is involved as there aren't a lot of studies on this process yet, so it's not well understood (yet).

I look at "movements" like these and the Anti-vaxers and see the same outcome. They'll kill themselves off in a few generations, or they'll accelerate society's progression to that displayed in Idiocracy. It's really a moot point because until we start colonizing other planets our species is doomed to extinction.
The only part of this that annoys me is how it's once again people attempting to force their views/opinions on others. But, I guess inflammatory threads are what this Forum is for. It does make for interesting reading sometimes.
