Decaffeinated Coffee - More Harmful To The Heart

Decaffeinated coffee has a more harmful effect on the cardiovascular system than what contains caffeine ...

 

Decaffeinated coffee has a worse effect on the cardiovascular system than caffeinated coffee. This is shown by the results of a study published in the British newspaper Daily Mail.

 


According to American scientists, decaffeinated coffee is dangerous for the heart. In the laboratories of the American Society of Cardiology, after experiments for 3 months, the researchers came to this conclusion.


 


Dr. Robert Superko and his colleagues at the Fuqua Heart Center in the clinical study "Coffee and lipoprotein metabolism" analyzed data on the effects of coffee on the cardiovascular system.

 


The participants in the study were divided into 3 groups: the first group did not use coffee, the second used coffee with caffeine, and the third - without caffeine. The participants from the second and third groups drank 3 to 6 cups of coffee every day.
The researchers analyzed the level of caffeine in the blood of the participants, as well as significant indicators of the cardiovascular system before and after the 3-month study period.

 


The results did not show significant differences in blood insulin concentration and total cholesterol. But for the first time, data has been published that decaffeinated coffee significantly (by 18%) increases the level of free fatty acids, which form the "bad" (LDL) cholesterol responsible for the formation of atherosclerotic plaques on the walls of blood vessels. Scientists are of the opinion that the problem with the consumption of "light" coffee is in the many fats contained in it, which are no less harmful than caffeine itself.

 


Dr. Superko notes that the results obtained are unique and should be directly related to caffeine, whose presence in coffee for many years is considered harmful in diseases of the cardiovascular system.
