There was a study in 2001 that found a statistically significant dose
response between (unfiltered)coffee drinking and both total and low-density
lipoprotein cholesterol levels. There is also some research that purports a
rise in homocysteine levels coffee. I think in both instances it relates to
regular coffee (not decaf) and 4 - 6 cups per day.
