RE: Coffee Drinking Reduces All Causes of Death According to Recent Meta-Analysis Study
It is not quite that simple though. Caffeine may have benefits too. Most agents have can have both benefits and disadvantages. You believe that caffeine is bad and so are picking and choosing evidence that supports that assertion. It may well turn out that coffee is healthier without the caffeine being in it. Right now we don't know though so I am not going to make that assertion.
On caffeine you are correct I believe the negatives far outweigh the positives for most people. Just as with alcohol or sugar. Yes you can consume these things but most people will have long term side effects from over consumption.
In the USA obesity is a problem. In the USA diabetes is common and metabolic syndrome is a problem. It is known that sugar and caffeine can make those problems worse. So if a person can avoid caffeine, and sugar, and alcohol, then it would probably be beneficial.
Does this mean 100% of everyone has to eliminate that? No. It means people who have the genetics to be concerned about diabetes, or alcoholism, or who are overweight, probably should avoid it.
And we do know that coffee without caffeine is healthier because as I said the component in coffee which is associated with the health benefit has been found. I cited a source to that as well so just isolate that compound and why do you even need caffeine or coffee?
