1. Did you even read the first study you mentioned?
It shows specifically how LDL Cholesterol causes heart disease.
"Why is blood cholesterol a concern? Too much of it, especially in the wrong kind of particle, can cause trouble inside blood vessels (see “From cholesterol to crisis” below). Harmful low-density lipoprotein (LDL) particles ferry cholesterol to artery walls" - thats a quote from your study lol. And we know
the optimal Cholesterol score lies between 50-70 units.
So unless you eat little to no animal products you will very like not achieve that optimum range to prevent heart disease
2. The study you referenced is faulty by design. Cross-sectional studies are not adequate in finding a link between diet and heart disease.
You have to measure the serum Cholesterol level CHANGE
So overall the fact that milk, as well as animal products, is not healthy remains.
Here research about adequate study designs:
