Filter Your Coffee
If you are watching your cholesterol levels, hold the cappuccino. Good old American brew may be best.
Two of the fatty substances in coffee, cafestol and kahweol, raise the levels of LDL cholesterol in the blood. High LDL cholesterol is associated with the early onset of cardiovascular disease.
The filtration process used to make the standard American drip coffee removes these oils.
Cappuccinos, espressos, lattes, French-press and Turkish coffees, all unfiltered coffees, contain them.
