Getting rid of the natural caffeine found in coffee beans often requires the use of chemicals that are harmful to your health. One of them is methylene chloride, a powerful chemical found in paint removers. Once in your body, methylene chloride can damage your heart and liver, and even affect your reproductive health.

2. May increase cholesterol levels

Many studies have shown that drinking decaf can significantly increase levels of unhealthy cholesterol. This is because most decaf coffees are made from Robusta beans, which are high in fat, which leads to increased cholesterol. However, if you still want to drink decaf instead of regular coffee, look for brands that use Arabica beans.

3. You’re not getting all the health benefits of regular coffee

Although drinking too much coffee poses many health risks, enjoying it in moderation offers many unexpected benefits such as younger, smoother skin. In contrast, Decaf is a processed beverage that loses most of its natural bioactive ingredients during the decaffeination process. One of them is chlorogenic acid which can strengthen the immune system and slow down skin aging.

Drinking decaffeinated coffee makes you think that they are completely safe no matter how much or how little you drink. Meanwhile, medical experts recommend that pregnant women drink only one cup of brewed coffee a day. If you drink more than 1 cup a day, even decaf coffee can be harmful to you and your baby’s health.

5. It Can Cause Arthritis
