Many drinks are distinguished by useful properties that can comprehensively strengthen the body and bring it closer to longevity. However, scientists advise to take a closer look at one of them.

We are talking about decaffeinated coffee. Experts call it the main and more useful alternative to the classic morning drink.

Yes, caffeine-free coffee can be drunk by people with high blood pressure. In addition, some experts claim that this drink activates the brain and reduces the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

According to William Lee, doctor, scientist, president and medical director of the Angiogenesis Foundation, when processing coffee beans on them chemicals harmful to health may remain. “The beans are soaked in a chemical solvent that leaches out the caffeine,” he said.

Although the Food and Drug Administration has approved these chemicals (methylene chloride in question) in the decaffeination process, they all still represent a number of health risks.

Scientist and doctor Rashimi Byakodi, in turn, reported that methylene chloride temporarily slows down the work of the central nervous system, can cause rheumatoid arthritis and increase the risk of cancer.
