It is a common misunderstanding that food needs to contain cholesterol to affect the cholesterol level in jour blood. In fact, most of your blood cholesterol is made by your own body.

And sadly enough, that wonderful Italian espresso brew carries some compounds that will raise your cholestrol levels. Search for Coffee and Cholesterol. This is well documented.
