What is The Effect of Filtered-Coffee Consumption on Plasma Lipid Levels: Results of a Randomized Clinical Trial about?

## Objective: --to determine the effect of filtered-coffee consumption on plasma lipoprotein cholesterol levels in healthy men. ## Design: --randomized controlled trial with an 8-week washout period followed by an 8-week intervention period during which men were randomly assigned to drink 720 ml/d of caffeinated coffee, 360 ml/d of caffeinated coffee, 720 ml/d of decaffeinated coffee, or no coffee. ## Setting: --outpatient clinical research center in a university medical center. ## Participants: --one hundred healthy male volunteers. ## Outcome measure: --changes in plasma lipoprotein cholesterol levels during the intervention period. ## Results: --men who consumed 720 ml of caffeinated coffee daily had mean increases in plasma levels of total cholesterol (0.24 mmol/l, p = .001), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (0.17 mmol/l, p = .04), and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (0.08 mmol/l, p = .03). no significant changes in these plasma lipoprotein levels occurred in the other groups. compared with the group who drank no coffee the group who drank 720 ml/d of caffeinated coffee had increases in plasma levels of total cholesterol (0.25 mmol/l, p = .02), low-density lipoprotein c
