When you make coffee, they're called deterpents.

And basically what the data was showing, and there's multiple studies on this, is that when you make coffee in the morning, and let's say you make it espresso style, which is my favorite.

I have like an all metal espresso machine that somebody gifted me when I got married to my wife.

And it's an Italian brand.

And so I love it.

It's my favorite ritual in the morning, going there, having a little bit of alone time, maybe listening to a podcast, listening to an upcoming guest, doing a little refresher on some material.

I make some coffee.

Typically though, when you make espresso,

you don't use any kind of filter that's there typically.

And there's other ways to make coffee, like if somebody makes a French press, that's also another way that people don't typically use a filter that's there.

Well, it turns out that some people, but overall this looks like it applies to everybody, some people maybe a little bit more so, these deterpens on a regular basis, and most of us have a cup or two of coffee a day,

over a period of time, they can increase your LDL by about 22%.

Really?

Yeah.

And so an experiment, and Dr. Rhonda Patrick has done a deep dive on this, my friend Max LeGouvier, who was one of the first people to tell me about this hack,

Texted me his before and after on his LDL.

And again, we're all doing a lot of different things, but he tried to control a lot of the variables and said, I started using a paper filter when I made my coffee in the morning and I switched.

I believe he was using French press before.

Okay.

And that paper filter.
