    ABSTRACT Consumption of coffee is commonly practiced by Sudanese citizens. The present study was conducted to explore the possible relationship between the total cholesterol and uric acid levels and the intake of coffee. Methodology: This study was done in Khartoum State from June to August 2013. Plasma levels of total cholesterol (T.C) and uric acid (U.A) concentrations were determined in hundred 100 apparently healthy adult males and females (coffee drinkers 50, non coffee drinkers 50). Conclusion: In our study all coffee drinker subjects were found to consume filtrated coffee. The results showed significant decrease in uric acid level but not in cholesterol level among coffee drinkers. The duration and amount of coffee consumed had the same effect regardless of amount and duration of consumption.
