Because I'll cycle back on.
And the great thing about cycling off of coffee and then going back on is that when you go back on, the coffee is so effective.
And so you kind of, I like to use it for those moments when I really need it.
I use the Purity Coffee brand.
I really like their organic coffee.
For the decaf, I use their Calm decaf, which is great.
They have regular coffee, which is also great.
And so right now, that's kind of like my brand that I've been using.
I already mentioned the filters I use, the Chemex unbleached coffee filters.
And then for a coffee maker, I like doing the pour over.
And so I do Chemex pour over glass coffee maker.
So it's like a big glass coffee maker.
And then you put the filters inside and the coffee and then you pour the hot water in and there it goes.
It drips through.
When it comes to the filter, it does filter out a lot of the oily substances, the diterpenes, which I know I kind of painted a bad picture of in the episode because they raise LDL cholesterol and that could be a concern sometimes.
Particularly for people that already are higher risk for dyslipidemia, perhaps they have higher LDL cholesterol, they have higher, maybe they have LP small a. There's a ton of reasons why someone may want to really just be very anal about making sure that they eliminate all the things that can raise their LDL and try to keep that down.
Yeah.
But the diterpenes also, there is at least some in vitro evidence.
So this means these are just cells in a Petri dish.
It's not the strongest type of evidence, but it is still something to talk about.
