New research reveals that the coffee you drink at work could negatively impact your heart health. A study from Sweden examined coffee from various office machines to see how it affects cholesterol levels compared to home-brewed coffee. The findings suggest that office coffee may contain higher levels of harmful compounds that can raise cholesterol.
• The study analyzed samples from 14 coffee machines across four workplaces.
• Three types of office machines were tested: brewing machines, liquid-model machines, and instant machines.
• Coffee brewed with a filter at home is healthier, as it reduces bad cholesterol levels.
• Switching from office coffee to paper-filtered coffee can significantly lower LDL cholesterol over time.
Understanding the impact of office coffee on health is crucial. Many people consume coffee daily at work, often without realizing its potential effects on cholesterol and heart health. Choosing filtered coffee can lead to better overall health outcomes.
