No: Caffeine is not the cause for your high cholesterol. Often when diet or lifestyle is not the cause for your high cholesterol it is your genetics. Many people still have the propensity to have high cholesterol levels that your own body makes even with a healthy diet ; lifestyle. You should speak with your doctor to see what you may need to do or take for your high cholesterol.
