Is it actually cream they put in? So weird, why not just use milk?
As for why cream or half and half, less sugar and lactose.

> Who puts cream in their coffee?! Lots of people all over Europe too
Where? I've been most places and never encountered this. It should be noted that in the US "half and half" is popular which isn't a thing in Europe but would be referred to as "cream" by Americans.
EDIT: applies to NY/NJ, US

Espresso/cappuccino usage will increase cholesterol in blood. Consider drinking filtered coffee instead.
Is this a valid study? (most dietary studies are pretty poor) Is it the lack of sugar or is that people who don't put sugar in their coffee have a bunch of other things they do? Maybe people who don't put sugar in their coffee are less likely to eat donuts. Maybe people who don't put sugar in their coffee are more likely to workout. Maybe people who don't put sugar in their coffee are more like to have better genes f…
Coffee and sugar are like oil and water: you can try all you want to mix them but they will never form a whole. No matter how long you stir it... you take a sip, and there's a coffee flavor over here and a sugar flavor over there.

This doesn’t make any sense - chemically espresso and filtered coffee are very similar. There are some subtle differences which contribute to the differences in taste between them, but it seems unlikely those make any contribution to cholesterol Drinking a lot of cappuccinos could potentially raise cholesterol levels due to heavy milk consumption. But if you have them with skim milk, that reduces that problem. Plus I…

Is this a valid question? most critiques without any supporting evidence are pretty poor
really? "most" dietary studies? so 'most' of what we know about nutrition and diets is pretty poor? In the past 75 years there was no real nutrition science done?
The authors affiliations are below[1], are you saying they have no idea how to conduct a valid study? Why are you dismissing a study out of hand, with anecdotes and cliches, instead of reading it and commenting on what's actually published?
Why are you anti-science?

One is not like the other though. How does espresso increase cholesterol, it's just water and coffee in there, just like filter?
Filter coffee uses a paper filter and paper filters can trap most of the cafestol.

Is that right? You make me concerned. Could you suggest a source please? Thank you.

Something that my medical professor used to tell us was that sugar and salt are man made things (processed sugar). And not something we found in nature and something that our bodies are not evolutionary developed to handle. So too much of salt and sugar was a good thing. So which makes sense
Salt is manmade? Ever visit a saltmine?
