BBC NEWS | Health | Caffeine 'does not raise blood pressure' ()

  „Six were habitual coffee drinkers and nine either abstained or drank coffee only occasionally. The volunteers were given either a full strength triple espresso, a decaffeinated version, an intravenous injection of caffeine or a placebo. Both types of espresso stimulated a significant jump in blood pressure among those who were not regular coffee drinkers. Advice Dr Corti said the lack of blood pressure elevation in coffee drinkers suggested regular consumption may help to reduce its potential for damaging health - at least among people who were not vulnerable to high blood pressure.“

  „   Even among those specialty coffee drinkers who drank only decaf, concerns about quality were foremost when selecting a decaffeinated coffee. Another assumption often made about the decaf sector is that demand is stagnant. Again, while this assumption may have been true in past years, the Swiss Water Usage and Attitude Study indicated that a third of the specialty coffee drinkers surveyed were drinking more decaf than they were a year ago.“

  „Red Eye Someone who can "drink" (ie:choke down) a red eye deserves your respect. This drink is basically a cup of coffee (already pretty darn caffeinated) with either one, two, or three espresso shots added for good measure. People that drink these either are clinically dead and need resurrection, or are writing a doctoral thesis or something. You may want to think twice before ordering this drink.“

  „This study expands on a Dutch study done last year that found that heavy coffee drinkers had a substantially reduced risk of type 2 diabetes. However, that study did not separate out caffeinated and decaffeinated coffee, included fewer people over a shorter span of time, and was less rigorous in measuring coffee intake.“
