Decaffeination - Health Effects of Decaffeinated Coffee

Health Effects of Decaffeinated Coffee

Consumption of decaffeinated appears to be as beneficial as caffeine-containing coffee with regard to all-cause mortality, according to a large prospective cohort study. In women, consumption of decaffeinated coffee significantly decreases all-cause mortality with an odds ratio of between approximately 0.8 to 0.9 with a consumption of 1 cup to approximately 6 cups per day, compared to those who drink less than one cup per month. In men, these beneficial effects are not as great, yet show a tendency toward significantly less mortality for those that drink more than 2 cups per day compared to those that drink less than one cup per month.
