Episode 3340 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.” Episode references: National Heart, Blood, and Lung Institute: https://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health-topics/high-blood-cholesterol Learn more about your ad choices.
