Or, unless a person just happens to be a slow processor and cholesterol builds up in the body, because of too few cholesterol receptors.

Congratulations on lowering your triglycerides.

It's also becoming more and more accepted that high cholesterol does not cause heart disease, but low cholesterol is a leading factor to early on set dementia. I'd be careful about getting your cholesterol numbers too low.
High cholesterol doesn't cause heart disease as long as it doesn't become oxidized and inflamed. Overweight and obese people usually have inflammation so for them high cholesterol CAN cause heart disease.

Information about low cholesterol being a leading factor to early onset dementia: I have never heard of that from any of my sources. Do you have a source for that other than those who recommend a high protein high fat diet?
