There is no cholesterol in "coconut vegetable oil" or "coconut
cream", but there may be some added in derived products.
Have a squiz at the items listed at this page from the USDA National
Nutrient Database and select you query of choice after you have
entered the keyword "Coconut" and selected "All food groups"
<http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/foodcomp/search/>
Check out "Vegetable oil, coconut" and "Nuts, coconut cream, canned"
for a couple of basic examples.
Alternatively, try this USDA-ARS page
<http://www.ars.usda.gov/Services/docs.htm?docid=9673>
where you can download data for individual nutrients (e.g.
Cholesterol) as sorted PDF files. (You'll have to look under "nuts"
in the list for coconut.)
Cheers, Phred.

No, but they are saturated fat which is/was linked to causing
people to produce cholesterol.

Yes, the saturated fat will raise your HDL, the good cholesterol, plus the
LDL. If the addition of saturated fat in your diet means less carbs, then
your triglycerides will go down.
Plus the addtion of saturated fat will lower your risk of one of the two
types of strokes.

Actually, that's not so, and studies controlling for glycemic load find
that serum lipids improve on diets high even in sat fats.
