Is french pressed coffee bad for you?

I have read something about that...here's an article that explains it. It basically says that when hot water is added to coffee, oils called terpenes are released, and that these have been known to raise blood cholesterol levels. The paper filter used in drip coffee traps most of it.

I still like French pressed and percolated coffee, though. :)

actually coffee is often used as a dehydrant and an aide to loose weight so I. on top of that caffeine slows up many bodily functions including the digestion so even if the oils would have a minimal amount of cholesterol It would not be bad. Besides I have never heard of any plant oils being saturated fats

No cholesterol in coffee. But the press does release more oils and flavor in each cup. It gives me heartburn, but that's the French way.

A French press is supposed to give a fuller bodied, more flavorful coffee. I tried it a couple of times... meh, nothing to write home about. I've never noticed a difference between code and basket filters (of course, in the morning, all I want to do is push my face in the coffee mug and get something hot inside me).

No ... there's no cholesterol in ANY coffee; and the way you make/brew it doesn't matter. The only cholesterol is in whatever creamer you put INTO the coffee

no. it seems every other day there is some new study out saying one thing or another, and then later on another study comes out to contradict the previous one. about the only thing that makes coffee different in the way you prepare it is the amount of caffeine in it.

I wouldn't have thought it would be any worse than any other type of coffee, I'm addicted to coffee so it's all good.

I've never heard of that. I don't see why one coffee prep method would be any better or worse than another.

NO, dear instead coffee is beneficial for our health n mind but its excessive useage can go wrong 4 our health......

So,don't get addicted to it...!!

I would be more worried about the caffeine content.
