title: Coffee, alcohol and coronary risk factors.
abstract: In a number of studies coffee consumption has been shown to be related to total cholesterol levels. The finding is not consistent and the possibilities for a causal relationship is discussed. The U-shaped relation between risk of coronary heart disease and alcohol consumption is also reviewed as well as the possible relationship between some of the coronary risk factors and alcohol consumption.
