Uni-President is sells 植物膽固醇的鮮乳 for consumers who are worried about high cholesterol levels. This looks like "plant-cholesterol milk", but I don't find any references to such a product. Might this be phytosterol-fortified milk or DHA-fortified milk?
而為了符合現代人低膽固醇飲食的健康需求，推出了含植物膽固醇的鮮乳。

milk containing plant cholesterol
Just translate it as it says. It's not your fault if science proves it to be wrong!

I have been educated that all plants have no cholesterol. But one day, a doctor friend of mine said that coconut has cholesterol. While dietary cholesterol is of no concern to me, i still want to find out for curiosity sake. Any ideas?

Maybe the more scientific name should be "plant sterols" or "phytosterols" as pointed out by franksf.
http://www.raysahelian.com/phytosterols.html
Phytosterols are plant sterols structurally similar to cholesterol that act in the intestine to lower Cholesterol absorption. The term " phytosterols " covers plant sterols and plant stanols. Plant sterols are naturally occurring substances present in the diet principally as minor components of vegetable oils. Plant stanols, occurring in nature at a lower level, are hydrogenation compounds of the respective plant sterols.
Plant sterols and their hydrogenated forms, stanols, have attracted much attention because of their benefits to human health in reducing serum and LDL cholesterol levels, with vegetable oil processing being their major source in several food products currently sold. The predominant forms of plant sterol end products are sitosterol, stigmasterol, campesterol and brassicasterol (in brassica).

And the more proper Chinese equivalent might be 植物固醇 instead of 植物胆固醇, but to make it more simple for mass consumers to understand it is kept as 植物胆固醇 because not everyone know the relationship between 胆固醇 (chole-sterol)and 固醇 (sterol). It cannot be said to be wrong, since it can interpreted as 植物性的胆固醇, or in English, "the plant counterparts of cholesterol in animals". Very acceptable in popular science, isn't it?

Comment: "Thanks Huijun! And thanks also to franksf and Shirley. I'm thinking of writing "plant sterol milk," for which I get 91 hits. Though milk containing plant sterol might be more accurate."

: Just "milk with phytosterols" will do, because soymilk means " 豆奶", which is a type of beverages prepared from soya beans.
