As I recall, this question came up a number of years ago when checking the cholesterol levels in infants and children was the rage for a while. At that time is was stated that it is normal for infants ( I don't know how old that covered to) to have what appeared to be high levels. It was speculated that this helped prepare them to deal with cholesterol in later years.
