Guest guest Posted November 26, 1998 Report Share Posted November 26, 1998 Thanks for the research article on ill effcets of coffee. I would like to add the following info. which may be useful in reducing or even eliminating some of the ill effects of coffee. Using a paper (or cloth) filter to strain the coffee brew has a positive effect in lowering or even eliminating the alleged negative effect of coffee in causing cancer and increasing cholesterol level. Coffee brew has a sterol(s) -same family as estrogen, cholesterol etc. which is efficiently trapped by cellulosic fibers such as paper or cloth. This sterol, is responsible for cancer vausing and cholesterol elevating effects of coffee. In fact, the ill effects of coffee on cancer and cholesterol has been confusing, partly because, some studied uded filtered (with paper) coffee and the others did not. Caffeine is also present in chocolate and several soft drinks, at levels much higher than a regular cup of coffee. By the way, I am a coffee lover. I gave up giving up coffee. I came half way though in giving up using milk and sugar in my coffee. Dasan, Krishna Tatachar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
