 1. Egoxenous cholesterol does not affect endogenous cholesterol production. ~90% of cholesterol is produced in the liver, so if you increase your dietary intake, the liver will just produce less. Cholesterol is very, very important and its production is dictated by very old genes.

2. Sugar is bad, m'kay.

3. Sugar and carbs might as well be used as synonyms. I think this is part of a language game where ignorant people will say that carbs aren't the problem, but sugar is. All carbs except fibre, which is completely useless by itself, gets broken down into monosaccharides, most commonly glucose, which is then metabolized by the body.

Honestly, though, if you aren't actively doing resistance training, milk probably shouldn't be in your diet anyway due to relatively high carbs. It's a quick source of complete protein, however. Plant protein is not complete protein, though, so I see no reason for ever drinking a plant "milk" product, unless for the taste.
