A plausible theory is people who CANT drink coffee, or dont drink as much, have health issues that often prevent them from drinking coffee...
- tarentel 4y agoThe article specifically says there were benefits to people who drink decaffeinated and caffeinated alike.
- rhacker 4y agoThere is still caffeine in decaf. Enough that my heart issue brother can't drink that either.
- nomel 4y agoAccording to a quick search, ~2mg vs ~100mg.
- thih9 4y agoI’ve heard that sometimes ordering decaf will get you a caffeinated drink and that a lot of places disregard or don’t pay enough attention to that particular request. I have no source or any numbers though.
- CydeWeys 4y agoIt definitely varies wildly. Some methods of decaffeination might leave as much as one-third of the coffee still in the beans. I'm a regular coffee drinker (and not caffeine sensitive), and I do get a placebo boost from decaf, but without any noticeable effects from actual caffeine.
- eurasiantiger 4y agoAnd a host of other psychoactive chemicals.
- dahart 4y agoDecaf is still acidic. Caffeine is not the only reason some people can’t drink coffee.
- softwaredoug 4y agoIf I have a health issue, I would prefer to not drink coffee than to drink decaf. I doubt I'm not alone in that assessment...
- jobu 4y ago> Baseline demographic, lifestyle, and dietary data from the UK Biobank were used This data is from the UK where coffee is still significantly less popular than tea. Would be interesting to see the mortality risk of coffee vs tea drinkers though.
- 0des 4y agoHot beverages are proven to damage cells which can lead to cancer of the upper digestive tract, regardless. Also how many people load it up with sugar and cream rather than just the brew itself.
- arisAlexis 4y agoOnly if it exceeds certain Temps
- ancientworldnow 4y agoThe study found natural sweeteners also had a decrease in mortality (but artificial sweeteners did not - but probably because people choosing those already have health risks).
- 0des 4y agohow about no sweetener
- jamal-kumar 4y agoI get the sense after living in a country which produces incredible coffee for a while that it's about quality. Like they're just covering up the bad taste. You have to pay like 20$ a bag to get something that isn't bitter in North America. Here if you want bad coffee at a low price I guess you can buy instant? I don't think green tea drinkers are putting many additives in there.
- wincy 4y agoIsnt the British method of preparing tea and coffee to load it up with milk and cream immediately? Makes it so you can drink quickly and don’t have to wait for it to cool off. (Source: am American and have watched one or two YouTube videos of how to prepare tea the British way)
- planetsprite 4y agowhat kind of health issues keep people from drinking decaf coffee
- bena 4y agoIf you have issues with caffeine, decaffeinated coffee is often off limits as well. Decaffeinated coffee isn't caffeine free coffee. There's a limit to the process. Also, if you have issues with caffeine and have never drank coffee before, why ever start? It seems like a thing you could just never do and be fine with. Not to mention, what if the problem isn't with the caffeine, but something else in the coffee. Decaf doesn't fix that.
- astrange 4y agoIBS?
- wincy 4y agoYeah I throw up every time I drink coffee. I mean I don’t want to admit it but that’s probably a sign that somethings wrong which is a problem. I saw a doctor today and he said “something something interesting parasympathetic system”.
