Think Decaf Coffee is Better? Think Again!

[Coffee Addiction] A recent study sponsored by the U.S. National Institutes of Health suggests that drinking decaffeinated coffee could lead to a rise in harmful cholesterol levels, which increases your risk of heart disease.The results of the study showed that the group drinking decaf coffee experienced an 18 percent rise in the fatty acids in their blood, which drives the production of LDL (bad) cholesterol. Some of the digestive and gastrointestinal problems associated with regular coffee do not disappear when one switches to decaffeinated coffee.
