A member asked:
Can drinking 32 oz of unfiltered coffee every day for a yr be responsible for an increase in triglyc of 96 to 283? because of the cafestol & kahweol?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lipids rise: Cafestol (and kahweol) may reduce the activity of hepatic LDL receptors and thereby cause extracellular accumulation of LDL (bad) cholesterol; triglycerides rise as well. However, use of a paper filter reduces the fatty drops containing these substances to a negligible level. It's best to filter ones coffee.
