"May 10 (UPI) -- The gender of the drinker, as well as the brewing method used, may be key to coffee's link with higher cholesterol, a risk factor for heart disease, a study published Tuesday found.
Drinking espresso was associated with the largest gender difference in cholesterol levels between the sexes, while plunger, or cafetière, coffee was linked with the smallest, data published by the journal Open Heart showed.
Three to five cups per day of espresso resulted in higher total cholesterol, particularly in men, compared to non-coffee drinkers, the researchers said.
Consuming six or more cups of plunger coffee daily also raised cholesterol, and to a similar degree in both men and women, they said.
In addition, drinking six or more cups of filtered coffee every day was associated with an increase in total cholesterol in women, but not in men, according to the researchers.
Although instant coffee consumption led to an increase in cholesterol in men and women, this didn't rise in tandem with the number of cups consumed, the researchers said.
"Coffee is the most frequently consumed central stimulant worldwide," researchers from UiT: The Arctic University of Norway in Tromsø wrote.
"Because of the high consumption of coffee, even small health effects can have considerable health consequences," they said."...
