New studies show a link between coffee and high cholesterol. A compound in coffee called cafestol elevates cholesterol by capturing receptors in the intestinal pathway that helps regulation.

I was very surprised to read that there is a connection between coffee and higher levels of cholesterol. The study went on to say that unfiltered and boiled coffee showed the largest increase (20%). Those who drank the filtered coffee, did not see the levels go as high but when they quit drinking coffee, their cholesterol dropped.
