A member asked:
Ok 4 studies read online claiming unfilter instant coffee raises liver alt. is this true ? or should i stick with tea cannot filter at work
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I say no: Cafestol is a diterpene found mostly in unfiltered coffee suspected to raise LDL. You can find ANY relationship you want just doing correlations. I reviewed the 45 articles on unfiltered coffee and the articles dealing with ALT are weird offerings from obscure overseas medical schools; there are also a bunch of "anti-cancer" claims for the molecule. Just drink your coffee as you like.
