The article is talking about both coffee and caffeine. Quoting from the article: "Decaf coffee did not have favorable effects against incident arrhythmia but did reduce cardiovascular disease, with the exception of heart failure. Kistler said the findings suggest caffeinated coffee is preferable across the board, and there are no cardiovascular benefits to choosing decaf over caffeinated coffees."
- bin_bash 5y agoThe article does not discuss caffeine on its own. You're making an assumption that because caffeinated coffee seems to have more benefits than decaf therefore it must be caffeine itself that has the benefits. The article also states: > People often equate coffee with caffeine, but coffee beans actually have over 100 biologically active compounds. These substances can help reduce oxidative stress and inflammation, improve insulin sensitivity, boost metabolism, inhibit the gut’s absorption of fat and block receptors known to be involved with abnormal heart rhythms.
