The Claim

Consumption of boiled coffee is associated with dose-dependent increases in serum total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, and apoprotein B concentrations.

Source: Dose-dependent effect on serum cholesterol and apoprotein B concentrations by consumption of boiled, non-filtered coffee.

In plain English

Drinking boiled coffee increases levels of total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and apoprotein B in the blood in proportion to how much is consumed.

See the scientific wording

Consumption of boiled coffee is associated with dose-dependent increases in serum total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, and apoprotein B concentrations, suggesting a dietary influence on lipid metabolism that may impact cardiovascular risk profiles.

Why this might work

Boiled coffee contains oils that block the liver from removing bad cholesterol from the blood, so more cholesterol stays in circulation.

What the research says

1 study

  1. Study: Dose-dependent effect on serum cholesterol and apoprotein B concentrations by consumption of boiled, non-filtered coffee.

    Drinking more boiled coffee raises certain bad cholesterol levels in your blood, and this study shows that the more you drink, the higher those levels go — which means it could increase your risk for heart problems.
