So in quick answer to the question - YES! It is healthier to drink decaf if you're looking to cut down on caffeine. You may get 'some' caffeine in decaf but tons less than normal coffee. The calories from milk and cream is a completely separate issue.
They said it's not healthier. I think it's because unless you overdo it or have some sort of underlying health condition, caffeine isn't that bad for you. So removing it doesn't make a difference. Drink decaf if you don't want to take a stimulant.
He said that after the process of caffeine removal is finished, the traces of the toxic chemical are so low it's insignificant and well below the EU's maximum allowed level. He then said there are non-chemical versions that use Co2 and charcoal but "there is no evidence they are any healthier" So, yes, he did answer the question, you just aren't good at listening. The answer is, it isn't any healthier.
Zaixai thats more about the process to decafinate the coffee. People were expecting him to address decafinated coffee directly, not residual chemicals from processing I think
@@WODANAZDAGHDA definitely, and stress as well. Worst part about stress is it can affect your hormones balance, may not be instant, but delayed. Just went through that phase again..... You know what's also wierd, during the time I wrote this comment, palpitations were non stop. Went to the GP, tried eating less fatty foods, no caffeine, tried to stress less etc, nothing worked. I then realised a year after that at one point I had exercised (cardio) for a month straight and lost about 10kg. I started to eat normal and wanted to get back to 90kg from 80 because I looked skinny. Guess what, palpitations stopped. Everytime I lose weight to meet the bmi, they come back which is wierd
I disagree that people switch to decaf because they think it's healthier. It's more often because they want to limit their caffeine intake to stop it impacting their sleep. I drink caff before 4pm and decaf afterwards.
@BobbyG I'll typically go to sleep around midnight and average about 8 hours sleep. Switching to not intaking significant quantities of caffeine after mid-afternoon is working for me. When I used to continue with caffeine right up to bedtime, I'd find myself still being awake at 1 or 2am.
I have generalized anxiety and coffee amplifies it 10x. Also, as long as you don't have a dependence, you do NOT need the ~100mg of caffeine in a cup of coffee to enjoy its effects. It only takes like 20mg, tops.
Am i the only one that still gets the "alert" feeling from defcaf coffee? Maybe it's placebo? Maybe subconsciously my mind Associates "coffee" with "energy/alert". So no matter the coffee beans, no matter if it's decaf i still get the same feeling
@@basicbodybuilding There are also other chemical compounds in coffee such as Theophylline which: The main actions of theophylline involve: relaxing bronchial smooth muscle increasing heart muscle contractility and efficiency (positive inotrope) increasing heart rate (positive chronotropic)[4] increasing blood pressure increasing renal blood flow anti-inflammatory effects central nervous system stimulatory effect mainly on the medullary respiratory center. The main therapeutic uses of theophylline are aimed at: chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) asthma infant apnea Blocks the action of adenosine; an inhibitory neurotransmitter that induces sleep, contracts the smooth muscles and relaxes the cardiac muscle. There are also small amounts of Putrescine and Trigonelline, not to mention small amounts of Caffeine still in decaffeinated coffee.

So the root of the original question is 'is CAFFEINE bad for you?' (as well as any other differences between caf and decaf coffee), and you never answered that original question.
The only "health reasons" I've heard of for choosing to drink decaff is for those like me who have a heart problem, or those whose sleep it adversely affects. I've never come across anyone who's like "oh I only drink healthy drinks, so I'll have decaff" 😒. As a decaff drinker, why would you choose this over the real thing if you didn't have to 😭? And no, Earth Lab, this video does not answer that question *sigh*.
Everything You see and everything We are, are all types of chemical composition! The Chemicals that strip the green beans are a form of alcohol and it burns off during the roasting process. P&G Decafs use Ethyl Acetate which seems to come out less bitter than the Methylene Chloride which is used to purify hops for Beer BTW!
Totally right, although there's a slight distinction I'd like to make, I don't drink beer for it's taste, but the aroma of coffee is really appealing to me, albeit I am guilty of sometimes adding a bit of sugar to it when I'm in a mood for a sweater treat.
True. Non-alcohol beer mostly tastes like it's been made from a concentrate of disappointment by people without taste buds. But I have found two local non-alcoholic beers that land pretty damn close to the taste of real craft beers - like with similar bitterness and texture which is amazing.So there is hope for those who can't consume alcohol.
arthur1129 my question to people who drinl non alcoholic beer is why even pretend? Its like vegetarians that buy food that looks and tastes like meat. Tubes meat, bacon, sausage etc...
It's time to introduce no-caf into the contest, drink herbal coffee Teeccino, you can brew it like a latte, or any other coffee drink, and it's herbal - no caffeine at all
its a start.caffeine really reaks havoc on your body especially yr sleep patterns.you will end up more exhausted over time with lack of good sleep.decaf maybe not perfect but if you like coffee its a good way to significantly reduce caffeine levels.
Same goes for diet pop it’s bad for you but diabetics from my experience have no choice if they want pop they drink the chemicals. I drink decaf bc it does definitely make me less anxious and no racing pulse so I will forge on. I will now choose sugar free coconut milk and sugar free flavorings.
Two facts. Coffee is tastier but had a lot of Caffeine. Decaf is less tasty with a lot less Caffeine. Find the reason in there, no further details required.
Google "professor Clare Collins coffee" and listen to the Shirtload of science podcast and she talks about caffeine having loads of benefits. It gives much better info than this.
I cannot drink coffee due to blood pressure problems. I left drinking Turkish style coffee and am now only drinking green tea and some decaff coffee(PLEASE NOTE -> decaf can give you more acidity and stomach problems). Please avoid coffee if you have cardiac hypertension. ALWAYS CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR OR DIETICIAN FOR FURTHER ADVICE BEFORE DOING ANYTHING!!
Not even watching the video i can tell you decaf is less healthy. Also most diet or sugar free foods and drinks are much worse for you. One ingredient has been linked to Alzheimer's. If you see someone trying to be healthy making the sugar free choice? Smack it from their hand.
I use decaf to tame my addiction to caffeine. I also just like the taste of coffee. I can have coffee at night if I drink decaf. Therefore there is a point.
Coffee is literally anxiety in a form of liquid
Stress hormones in a cup
YES!
😂 if you have anxiety yes! But if you don’t, it does not affect the user..
Truth
If you struggle with coffee please don't try cocaine
Completely side stepped the question : Is Decaf healthier than Caffeinated coffee? Answer calories are bad for you.
Hahah yeah
Lmao fact
Calories aren't bad, excess of calories can be bad
I think he gave you all the advice to make a sensible conclusion 👍
You are aware that a calorie is just a unit of energy, right? What is actually bad is the excessive amount of calories consumed.
So in quick answer to the question - YES! It is healthier to drink decaf if you're looking to cut down on caffeine. You may get 'some' caffeine in decaf but tons less than normal coffee. The calories from milk and cream is a completely separate issue.
Totally did not answer the question?
Ya they started answering it then got side-tracked with calories.
In general neither are bad for you in moderation.

The answer is, it isn't any healthier.
It creates by products and breaks down contents the more processing is done to edibles. So it is worse for you then untampered with drinks

Caffeine and palpitations go hand in hand
Don't forget chest pain, heavy breathing, and anxiety.

@@basicbodybuilding decaf still has a certain amount of caffeine in it. It's not a placebo effect.
This video was itself was very much like a decaffeinated coffee: it left me unsatisfied and wanting more.
I like the taste of coffee but I drink decaf because I get headaches 😔
So the root of the original question is 'is CAFFEINE bad for you?' (as well as any other differences between caf and decaf coffee), and you never answered that original question.
You didn’t finish the argument
surpised he didn't mention the crazy acid in coffee.
Coffee is tasty. I want to drink it later in the day but makes me stay up. So decaf for then.
coffee is not a healthy drink, far from it. Has so many side affects like any drug. if you remove the caffeine it has got to be better
The only "health reasons" I've heard of for choosing to drink decaff is for those like me who have a heart problem, or those whose sleep it adversely affects.

Some people like myself simply drink coffee because we enjoy the taste and not the caffeine! Also, coffee is known to be a main cause of Anxiety..
1:56 no bro, a decaf contains between 2 and 5mg whilst coke 35mg
almost!
Yeah I sniffed the bull coming from him during that comment too
I don’t care about health i only care if it keeps me awake at night

If you're drinking lattes with sugar and syrups.... just ditch the coffee and drink milkshakes.
Decaf is like nonalcoholic beer. What's the point ? They are both not exactly tasty drinks.
Totally right, although there's a slight distinction I'd like to make, I don't drink beer for it's taste, but the aroma of coffee is really appealing to me, albeit I am guilty of sometimes adding a bit of sugar to it when I'm in a mood for a sweater treat.
I admit I enjoy the first hot coffee of the day but I need plenty of sweeteners and milk.

@pants You read my mind! I just commented something very similar before reading that!
So is it good or bad?
Coffee with *cRaZy* amounts of sugar is the worst.
A dash of milk is ok, but those sugar poisoned lattes should be punished

Decaf doesn’t have the good depth and bitterness caffeinated coffee as.
Wow, all that and you didnt answer the question.
How dare you equate a burger with a large piece of cake.
i swear this video was uploaded years back.... or is it just me ?
It's better for your prostatitis so yes decaff is better.
Decaf coffee is as useless as alcohol free beer.
Me drinking decaf knowing I wont end up as the "quirky kid who cant function without their coffee"
this seems sponsored by someone who stands to profit from the sale of coffee,
Everyone already knows what your video is about
Coffee makes me poop -.-
Plus I don't like the taste, so...
Blak it makes alot of people poop, you are not alone
Why is decaf as laxative as other coffees ?
Or is it only the coffée I buy, then is it a good way of knowing how decaf it is ?
I always suspected that just ingesting warm liquid stimulates the bowels.
Swiss water decaf good
I thought it was a good video...
Did you answer the question in the title?
No he didn't' He danced around it. Gave a few facts then let you make up your own mind.
Black coffee may have less calories; but it's super acidic. How great is that for you?
I can sleep after a can of diet coke.
I only drink black coffee, the other stuff tastes nasty.
Two facts. Coffee is tastier but had a lot of Caffeine. Decaf is less tasty with a lot less Caffeine. Find the reason in there, no further details required.
I disagree. My sugarcane columbian decaf espresso tastes better than most caffeinated. It is highly subjective!

ALWAYS CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR OR DIETICIAN FOR FURTHER ADVICE BEFORE DOING ANYTHING!!
Solvents used in the decaffeinating process include carbon dioxide, ethyl acetate, or triglycerides .... you decide.
You aren't the boss of me! 😉
What is even the point of coffee if it aint gonna have caffeine in it.
Taste
Does decaf cause cancer?
No
Thank you for this information ℹ
Operation Ouch
You tell me Chris...
@died under dennys
The question is: is a decaf coffee not like having triangular wheels.
Clickbait title, and poorly made video!
its about balance, decaff during the week, normal coffee at weekends
500 calories latte 😱😱😱😱😱
Ashwit Shetty do you want any latte with your sugar sir? Lol
JonnyD3ath No thanks😂😂😂😂😂😂
Usual BBC ....
Caffeine is the elixir of life!

Costa mocha coffee everyday
Spice really could costa arm and a leg.
the point is: is caffeine bad for your health?
A: moderation
Coffee should be black or with a dash of milk. Anything else and its not coffee. IMO
IYO
Don't drink coffee if you do not want caffein!
Is it healthier? Does it really matter? It dosent.
The only reason i tolerate taste of coffee is caffeine.
- buy less sour-tasting coffee
- brew it differently, e.g. just turkish or with a Bodum
- add more milk.
Doesn't matter - it's still not a "delicious" drink.
I don't hate it but if it had no caffeine, i would just drink water or tea in the morning.
drinking decaf is like drinking non alcoholic beer or eating quorn burgers! All useless and stupid!
I use decaf to tame my addiction to caffeine. I also just like the taste of coffee. I can have coffee at night if I drink decaf. Therefore there is a point.
I have no idea why anyone would drink decaf. I love coffee, but if I couldn't have caffeine I think I just wouldn't bother.
weehawk is
It’s because some people get panic attacks and anxiety and acne from caffeine.
Some people aren't addicted and don't need caffeine to function like a normal person. They drink it for the taste.
Chris! I love u so bad! Greetings from Mexico ;)
Damn
