Practical exams are usually held 3 days a week on Fridays and Saturdays, and in the case of the author, I participated as a judge for the entire 3 days at first, and as a senior judge, I did a lot of evaluation in the sensory field. As a result of a recent medical examination, he was diagnosed with hyperlipidemia in the early stage of taking medication. It was thought that there was no particular problem with the diet, so I was wondering if coffee had an effect on hyperlipidemia, so I searched related papers and looked into it.
According to the 2012 master’s thesis “Relationship between coffee consumption and blood cholesterol in healthy Korean adult males” of Yonsei University’s Department of Medicine, Yonsei University, a positive correlation between coffee consumption and blood total cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol compared to the group with low coffee consumption. has been shown to affect Jeong Ji-yeon, among the subjects of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, surveyed 722 healthy adult males over 20 years of age, through questionnaires, physical measurements, and blood tests, in four groups (do not drink at all, less than 1 cup a day, 1 cup a day, 2 cups a day). As a result of the analysis by dividing into two groups, it was suggested that drinking a lot of coffee might rather have an effect on hyperlipidemia.
Also, in 2009, Choi So-young Ewha Womans University Graduate School of Clinical Health Sciences Master’s Thesis “The relationship between green tea and coffee drinking and blood lipid profile” As a result of comparing the blood lipid levels of green tea and coffee consumption, it was concluded that coffee consumption had an effect on total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol among blood lipid levels. In other words Total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol coffee intake is affected by the quantity. Therefore, when comparing the intake of green tea and coffee, it was advised to choose green tea if you want to prevent and manage cardiovascular diseases including hyperlipidemia.
However, there are also papers with contradictory conclusions.
2004 Registered in the Korean Journal of Food Science and Technology Kang Geum and other researchers According to the paper “Effect of adding coffee to a high-fat diet on the body weight, blood lipid, Leptin concentration, and adipocyte size in rats,” the concentration of coffee was reduced to 0.6 in the control group fed only high-fat diet to rats and the high-fat diet. %, 1.2% and 2.4% (w/w) of the experimental groups were bred for 6 weeks, and the concentration of weight gain, body fat, plasma triglyceride, cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, free fatty acid and Leptin (food sufficient When ingested, it refers to a hormone that controls appetite by binding to hypothalamic receptors to feel full. If the concentration is low, it causes hunger and obesity) and the size of fat cells in epididymal adipose tissue were analyzed. According to the results, the coffee concentration of 0.6% did not have a significant effect on the high-fat diet, but rather increased body weight and body fat compared to the control group, and significantly increased the concentration of triglycerides and total cholesterol, which are the causes of circulatory system diseases. . However, the concentration of Leptin was high, which gave a feeling of satiety, so it was effective for diet control. On the other hand, the concentration of HDL-cholesterol, which prevents circulatory system diseases, was significantly increased in the mice that consumed 2.4% coffee, and the arteriosclerosis index also showed a tendency to be lower than that of the control group. However, due to the active diuretic action, the concentration of Leptin was lowered, which made people feel more hungry than full. These results suggest that drinking a lot of coffee on a high-fat diet may be more beneficial for circulatory disease than not drinking or drinking less coffee.
In addition, Kim Eun-kyung et al., published a paper on “The Effect of Coffee and Green Tea Consumption Frequency on Hepatitis Levels and Metabolic Syndrome in Koreans” in the Journal of the Korean Society of Industry-Academic Technology in 2012. Among regarding 48,000 people of all ages who received the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, adult men and women between the ages of 19 and 79 in Korea showed that their lifestyle habits of consuming coffee and green tea showed that the serum AST and ALT ( It is a scale, the higher the number, the more liver damage) and the effect on metabolic syndrome. As a result, when more than one cup of coffee was consumed per day, the prevalence of hypertension, abnormal fasting blood sugar, and hyperlipidemia were lowered, and the incidence of metabolic syndrome was also significantly lower. In the group that consumed two or more cups of coffee per day, total energy intake and body mass index were increased, but hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and fasting blood sugar were significantly lowered, and the incidence of metabolic syndrome was also lowered. In particular, the higher the coffee drink, the lower the serum AST. On the other hand, the increase in the frequency of green tea intake had no effect on serum AST and ALT. That is, it was found that drinking a lot of green tea was not related to body mass index and the prevalence of metabolic syndrome, but it was confirmed that the serum AST level of those who consumed a lot of coffee was lowered.
The results of all the papers reviewed above are not consistent and cause confusion. In addition, there is no mention of how the coffee was extracted, only mentioning that coffee was used. The content of lipids in the extracted beverage varies greatly depending on the coffee extraction method. If you extract using pressure with a coffee machine, a lot of lipid components in the drink are added. The lipid component can be filtered out by drip extraction using a paper filter. Therefore, it is regrettable that a more accurate analysis would have been possible if the study was conducted in consideration of the extraction method of coffee consumed by coffee drinkers.
In Korea, adults over the age of 20 drink more than 385 cups of coffee per year. Excluding people who don’t drink coffee, coffee drinkers drink at least 2-3 cups a day. Now that I drink a lot of coffee, I need to know exactly how coffee affects my health and enjoy coffee. Although many papers have been published on the health-promoting effects of coffee, Research on the effect of coffee on cardiovascular diseases, such as hyperlipidemia, is still scarce, to the extent that domestic studies on the relationship between coffee and cardiovascular disease have produced contradictory results. It is hoped that further studies will be conducted on the correlation between coffee and cardiovascular disease.
