t's one of the most elegant and environmentally responsible ways to prepare your morning cup of coffee, but if you're regularly using a French press, you could be doing serious damage to your body in the long run, according to a study published in The European Journal of Preventive Cardiology.
"Unfiltered coffee contains substances which increase blood cholesterol," explains study author Dag Thelle, a senior professor in the public health and community medicine department of the University of Gothenburg, Sweden. "Using a filter removes these and makes heart attacks and premature death less likely."

Patient: “Doc, every time I take a sip of coffee, I get a pain in my right eye”
Doctor: “Try taking the spoon out of your cup first”
1 sugar 1 cream, 1 delight.
“So it’s still OK to keep doing the coffee enema?”
The Governor says they are now mandatory.
Its because of the Global Warming Emergency, or maybe it is a racial justice thing...
Bravo Sierra, Hotel Sierra, and Papa Sierra.
The old ways still work if you know what you are doing.
I didn’t read it, but do they say which ‘version’ of cholesterol they’re referring to: The one from 1960 to 2018 where all ‘cholesterol’ was bad, or the one since then that says only a small subset of cholesterol is bad?
RAGS! RAGS!
Life is a terminal condition with a 100-year survival rate of less than 1%.
Enjoy every moment of it!
I believe it was Mark Twain who pointed out that the most dangerous place a person could be is in bed, because most people die there.
On scale, is it more dangerous, than using broken glass as T.P.?
Nope. The least at risk are those who drink 1-4 cups of filtered coffee.
It appears unfiltered is the next least risky.
Drinking no coffee has the highest risk, apparantly.
From the study:
Coffee, the most widely consumed beverage worldwide, has been reported to significantly decrease both all-cause and cardiovascular-related mortality.1–6
In the current issue of European Journal of Preventive Cardiology, Tverdal et al.7 examine the association between the amount and type of coffee (filtered or unfiltered) and the risk of total, cardiovascular, ischaemic heart disease and stroke mortality in a large cohort of middle-aged men and women with complete follow-up.
They show that filtered coffee is associated with a lower mortality than no coffee or unfiltered coffee and that the increased risk of ischaemic heart disease mortality for unfiltered coffee is partly through its association with total cholesterol.7
They conclude that the lowest mortality was among consumers of 1–4 cups of filtered coffee per day.7 They discuss the possible association of antioxidants, including polyphenols and total homocysteine, with the reduction in total and cardiovascular mortality, although there may be some other mechanisms.
Here is another article that explains some of the controversy.
Brewed coffee is simply good for you.
The research is clear, and has gotten better in the last few years. Brewed coffee works. Instant does not have the positive effects.
It’s a different world today, for sure!
I wasn’t a coffee drinker until a guy I was dating served “percolator” coffee using a fresh bean grinder as well. It was delightful to say the least! Very different from coffee maker coffee.
LOL, thanks for that!
Fresh ground every morning and percolated to perfection.
Good a hill as any to die on.
I got coffee, BRING IT!
Your weight and height in desirable range?
Are you a non-smoker for 25 years or more?
Did you limit eating only during any 9 hour period?
Do you consume plenty of fruits and vegetables?
If answer to all 4 questions is yes, then I would agree with genes being the problem. Of course after age 75, heart attack becomes possible in spite of a flawless life style. Human body is not designed to last more than 75 years. Those who live longer are lucky. I am at age 80, and so far so good. But no guarantees any more.

Everything is bad for you and will kill you.
