Fat and cholesterol: Hi. Dietary cholesterol has a minor effect on your LDL-cholesterol. Saturated fat, on the other hand, raises both triglyceride and LDL-cholesterol. The sources you mention are high in saturated fat, and yes, raise LDL-cholesterol. Nonfat dairy is fine, of course. Some fat in moderation is OK, of course, and is a good energy source, but the American waistline tells you how much we do in moderation.

Yes yes yes yes yes: Granted, lowfat or skim milk wouldn't contain too much fat, and neither would egg whites isolated from the yolks, but in general the foods you listed are good sources of bad fats and should generally be limited.
