It doesn’t block cafestol, which increases cholesterol synthesis.
Fun fact: not all cholesterol is bad; it’s only the LDL, while HDL is thought to be good for the heart.

That is, people with low HDL have impaired glucose control, but raising HDL doesn’t bring any benefit. LDL concentration isn’t meaningful at an individual level. LDL particle counts however are. Lots of small LDL particles are way more atherogenic than a few large particles, given a constant density.
