Espresso and cholesterol

Cholesterol levels is one of the few health areas that hasn't fallen apart for me, I have sugar problems and blood pressure problems, but so far my cholesterol levels are okay.

But is seems that if you do have a cholesterol problem you shouldn't drink espresso without running it through a paper filter.

How much espresso?

She had 14 shots. I've never really kept count, but I've probably had close to that in a day. But she did it in 4 hours. Personally I kind of have some doubts about the story -- I just don't think anybody is that compulsive that they'd actually keep count and know that they'd had exactly 14 shots.

But the lesson here seems to be to keep it down to one triple-shot per hour. Or maybe one double-shot of Premium and one double shot of decaf per hour.

Coffee and diabetes

Drinking coffee helps cut the risk of diabetes. How cool is that?

Of course if you have diabetes things might be different, what with high blood pressure problems being a risk for diabetics.
