Is it possible to get these supposed benefits from coffee if it's decaf?

  The research is quite focused on caffeine but mentions some benefit from decaf: http://health.gov/dietaryguidelines/2015-scientific-report/14-appendix-e2/e2-39a.asp http://health.gov/dietaryguidelines/2015-scientific-report/1...

    From the link: "Coffee consumption was associated with reduced risk of total mortality (3-4% lower mortality with 1 cup/day), especially cardiovascular mortality" "Decaffeinated coffee consumption was associated with a lower risk of death" This makes it sound like coffee consumption helps and decaf consumption helps more when it comes to mortality risks. Also, if I'm reading it right, that link says unfiltered caffeinated increases LDL blood levels, which I'm given to understand is bad. It sounds like decaf is better...

      I read "Decaffeinated coffee consumption was associated with a lower risk of death" to mean that they lack sufficient data to quantify it, not as a comparison to caffeinated.
