So it sounds like cafestol is the most potent cholesterol synthesis agonists, but that it is in such small amounts in the beans that using a paper filter essentially eliminates it entirely. Even without a paper filter, its low enough that the studies show that you would need to drink more than 4 cups a day of unfiltered coffee for it to start having any sort of impact.
Much less effective from an (admittedly brief) look around. The finer filtration you get with paper apparently helps filter it out, but it’s such a small amount even just chewing beans it doesn’t appear to matter.

oh yeah those neuroprotective issues are more important to me than the cardiovascular ones. YMWV
