Decaf Coffee bad for you

DECAFFEINATED coffee may raise the risk of cardiovascular disease more than regular coffee does, Atlanta investigators announced at the American Heart Association’s Scientific Sessions 2005.

The subjects were randomly assigned to one of three groups: noncoffee drinkers, coffee drinkers and decaf drinkers, who drank three to six cups a day for two months.At the end of the study period, Superko found no significant differences in fasting glucose or insulin (measures used to diagnosis diabetes), total cholesterol, HDL2 (the very good cholesterol) or triglycerides among the three groups. However, decaf coffee significantly increased free fatty acid levels, which in turn led to an increase in apolipoprotein B, which is associated with LDL cholesterol.

Decaf always amazed me as the reason I drank coffee was for the caffiene kick. If there is no caffiene kick then what’s the point of drinking it?. You might as well wear baby clothes and drink warm milk.
