Coffee And Cholesterol
It is a norm in most families that they use coffee when they get up in the morning, so that they may obtain that jolt of energy that refreshes them and enables them to get going so that they can manage their daily chores. When a person gets up in the morning, the first thing after washing up is to leap towards the coffee maker and grab a cup of coffee along with a toast or some cereal, so as to get the required energy and get going. At that time, no one even thinks of the fact that the coffee that he or she is drinking could be dangerous for his or her health. But certain studies have proven that coffee, which was once considered to be safe, can be a health hazard, especially to those who suffer from cholesterol problems.
The first such study was carried out in 2001 at John Hopkins University School of Medicine, where after a number
of experiments and trials, it was established that if a person used more than six cups of coffee a day, it
facilitated an increase in LDL levels, which are also known as bad fats as they can stick to the walls of blood
vessels and cause blockages. It was therefore advised to people with high LDL levels to use coffee with a cautious
approach. When these oils mix up with other fats, they tend to raise the LDL content of the body and the total cholesterol levels tend to get higher. The process of filtration takes out most of these oils from the coffee and thus becomes much more safe to drink than unfiltered coffee.
