Dr. Neal Malik breaks down how coffee preparation methods can influence cholesterol levels, explaining why unfiltered coffee may raise LDL while filtered options are a smarter choice. He also shares practical, research-backed lifestyle changes, from diet to exercise, that can help improve cholesterol and overall cardiovascular health.
Quotes to ponder:
“Cafestol seems to increase LDL cholesterol in the blood.”
“If we just boil coffee, like say using a French press, consume Turkish coffee, or instant coffee, we’re drinking that cafestol, which again, may increase our blood LDL cholesterol levels.”
“If we brew coffee using a paper filter, the paper removes most of the cafestol.”
