A bit safer Coffee

[Guest guest]

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.
