I just recently switched to decaf coffee, and someone told me
that it can affect cholesterol levels? Is this true? Thank you.
Dear Reader,
Why did the coffee bean cross the road? To get to their daily
grind! Research has shown that coffee (both decaf and
caffeinated) may temporarily increase blood cholesterol levels,
though the effects may be minimal. However, this primarily
applies to frequent coffee drinkers (those who sip more than four
cups per day) and people with an already heightened risk of
developing heart disease. Additionally, the effect it may have
can be dependent on how the coffee was brewed.
While there's a common misconception that caffeine is to blame
for coffee-heightened cholesterol, the cholesterol-raising effect
of coffee has actually little to do with the caffeine content.

A tale of true love and high adventure, pirates, princesses,
giants, miracles, fencing, and a frightening assortment of wild
beasts. The Princess Bride is a modern storytelling classic.
As Florin and Guilder teeter on the verge of war, the reluctant
Princess Buttercup is devastated by the loss of her true love,
kidnapped by a mercenary and his henchman, rescued by a pirate,
forced to marry Prince Humperdinck, and rescued once again by the
very crew who absconded with her in the first place. In the
course of this dazzling adventure, she'll meet Vizzini-the
criminal philosopher who'll do anything for a bag of gold;
Fezzik-the gentle giant; Inigo-the Spaniard whose steel thirsts
for revenge; and Count Rugen-the evil mastermind behind it all.
Foiling all their plans and jumping into their stories is
Westley, Princess Buttercup’s one true love and a very good
friend of a very dangerous pirate.
