A large number of people like to start their day with tea or coffee. These are the most favorite and popular morning drinks. Some people are so fond of coffee that they always drink coffee in the office. Our health can get some benefits from coffee if we consume it within a limit only. Drinking more than a limited amount of coffee can harm you. You might not know that drinking coffee increases the level of bad cholesterol in the body. People who have a cholesterol problem should avoid drinking coffee. Today we will tell you how coffee affects bad cholesterol levels.
Coffee's Cholesterol Connection
It has been proved in many studies that drinking coffee increases the serum cholesterol level of the body. However, it depends on how much coffee you drink. Another special thing is that coffee affects the cholesterol level of women and men in different ways. According to research done in 2016, excessive consumption of coffee increases the level of bad cholesterol in the body. The fast cholesterol found in coffee beans is responsible for increasing the level.
Which coffee is harmful
According to The Institute for Scientific Information on Coffee (ISIC), cholesterol level increases due to diterpene found in coffee. According to a 2011 study, Scandinavian boiled coffee, French press coffee, and Turkish coffee should be consumed sparingly. These coffees have the most effect on cholesterol levels. At the same time, diterpene is found in very small amounts in espresso, filter coffee, and instant coffee, which does not make much difference to the cholesterol level.
