> dietary cholesterol does not increase serum cholesterol
The link between diet and cholesterol seems to be indirect.
Take for example coffee. Non-filtered coffee increases serum cholesterol even when it does not contain cholesterol. Coffee oils (diterpenes like cafestol and kahweol) mess up body’s ability to metabolize and regulate cholesterol.
Coffee contains 1% of diterpenes. Fortunately normal paper filter removes most of the oils. French press and Turkish style are the worst.
