The average amount of dietary cholesterol is not linked to levels of cholesterol in the blood. Blood cholesterol is more closely related to the amount of saturated fat in the diet - saturated fat raises blood cholesterol.
The polyunsaturated fats, like those found naturally in Cod Liver Oil, have typically not been shown to raise blood cholesterol. However these long chain omega 3 polyunsaturates (EPA & DHA), which are found in these oils, do not usually reduce total cholesterol levels, specifically LDL (bad) cholesterol.
On the other hand scientific research has shown that long chain omega 3 polyunsaturates (EPA & DHA) can help increase HDL "good" cholesterol levels in moderate amounts.
