Both caffeinated and decaf coffee have caffeine in them. There are coffees that are virtually 100% caffeine-free (99.9%+) and zero-caffeine coffee alternatives. The alternatives include beverages like Kaffree Roma which is a coffee sub that tastes a little like coffee but is not made with it, and Teeccino, same moniker. There are also fake teas like Rooibos Tea.
Prolonged, excessive coffee drinking (typically >4 cups/day) can lead to chronic anxiety, insomnia, increased heart rate, and elevated blood pressure. While moderate consumption is generally safe, long-term overconsumption can cause gastrointestinal issues like acid reflux, dependency, and potential bone density reduction, while paradoxically providing mental alertness. They don’t tell those that increase their consumption to get smarter about that.

...............”notable improvement in learning and memory was found only in those who consumed decaffeinated coffee, suggesting that components other than caffeine, such as polyphenols, are responsible for these cognitive benefits.”
Isn’t that special. +$!$@*^)$. I drink half-caffeine every morning (half-caf. ) so apparently I can’t tell whether I’m coming o going. Plus, I don’t brew, I use organic instant coffee, supposedly far stronger.
