Regular or decaf? Coffee consumption and serum lipoproteins.
Epidemiologic studies indicate that the relationship between coffee consumption and cardiovascular disease is inconsistent. The potential impact of caffeinated vs. decaffeinated coffee on serum lipids has been investigated with similar inconclusive findings. Understanding the effects that various types of coffee beverages may have on serum lipids could be enhanced by identifying and characterizing the putative lipid-altering factor in coffee.
