Cafestol is the main contributor of cardiovascular disease due to coffee (hugely increases cholesterol). Get filtered coffee, or even better, black/mate tea, Matcha/green tea, Guarana or Guyausa (most of which have the reverse effect on cholesterol btw).
Yeah, genetically predisposed here, will likely die of a stroke sometime. Though green (and other) tea, Guarana and Guyausa have lots of cholesterine reducers.
So it sounds like cafestol is the most potent cholesterol synthesis agonists, but that it is in such small amounts in the beans that using a paper filter essentially eliminates it entirely. Even without a paper filter, its low enough that the studies show that you would need to drink more than 4 cups a day of unfiltered coffee for it to start having any sort of impact.
Much less effective from an (admittedly brief) look around. The finer filtration you get with paper apparently helps filter it out, but it’s such a small amount that even if you were just chewing beans it doesn’t appear to matter.
Take out the cig and it definitely is

I like how different people have said each different item is the main cause of heart disease

Yeah, such a terrible thing. Let’s remove it! :D
Don’t mind the Aztec decorations in my clinic. :D

Joke’s on you guys because reading my comments is the main cause of heart disease gottem
Straight up didn’t know this, but I don’t and have never drank coffee and am the only man in my family without cholesterol issues.

Do you have a source on that?
Sure.

And some of the ingredients in the alternatives (some of them in coffee too).

metal filter work too?

Ok, fair point.
oh yeah those neuroprotective issues are more important to me than the cardiovascular ones. YMWV
