They're correct, but also exaggerating it. If you ask somebody to brew you a cup using a french press, and using the same ground coffee, a batch of a pour over, you'll notice some oils floating on the french press cup and not the pour over. So indeed, the paper filter will remove lipids from the brew. But are those in a quantity that could "raise cholesterol in some people"? Absolutely not, you'd have to be chugging coffee like a monster and even then, the tablespoon of butter you use in your toast is a much bigger concern.

I am definitely not an expert and probably a poster child for “a little knowledge is a dangerous thing” but after hearing about cafestol and kahweol and reading articles like this, I figured better safe than sorry since I tend toward borderline high.
