via BBC NEWS | Health:
Drinking decaffeinated coffee could increase the risk of heart disease, a study has suggested.
It could lead to a rise in harmful cholesterol levels, the US National Institutes of Health study found.
Stick to the leaded stuff.
Unless you’re pregnant:
The finding comes as a Danish team reiterated that drinking eight or more cups of coffee a day while pregnant may double the risk of losing the baby.
They advised pregnant women to drink no more than three cups of coffee a day, in line with existing UK advice.
As I’ll never be pregnant, I’ll have another cuppa’.

Thank God, now I have a medically related excuse to tell my friends when they bug me to switch to decaf!
I wouldn’t have made it this far in Rn school without my pot a day.
