Salt does cause high cholesterol. Usually, too much salt can result to fluid retention which in return causes high pressure against the blood vessel walls. The general result of this is normally high blood pressure. Eating food that is high in cholesterol and fat causes high cholesterol.

When certain types of cholesterol get too high in the bloodstream you are at a greater risk of Heart disease, a heart attack or a stroke. Controlling your cholesterol involves eating the right foods and to affectively reduce your risk of complications, you have to limit your salt intake (Any type of salt), though it does not directly affect cholesterol levels. Since high cholesterol levels can cause serious complications, it is best to speak with your doctor about the best dietary approach and how much salt is safe to use

No, salt is a mineral. Foods dont have cholesterol in them, foods cause cholesterol because of the fat content in them.
