Elevated serum total cholesterol generally contraindicates drinking black coffee. High serum total cholesterol is usually caused by abnormal lipid metabolism, and black coffee contains relatively high levels of energy and fat, which may increase blood lipid levels. Therefore, drinking black coffee is not recommended to avoid adversely affecting cholesterol levels and impeding recovery.
