I did a double take here:

    > higher on cholesterol
As I understand, cholesterol only occurs in animal products. That is why vegan diets are cholesterol-free. Zero trolling here: I assume that coffee beans are animal-free.

Google tells me:

    > Though brewed coffee does not contain actual cholesterol, it does have two natural oils that contain chemical compounds -- cafestol and kahweol -- which can raise cholesterol levels. And studies have shown that older coffee drinkers have higher levels of cholesterol.
