Coffee quitters could get some help: Decaf dose may help reduce withdrawal symptoms
Fox News
A new study found that drinking decaf coffee can help reduce coffee drinkers' withdrawal symptoms when they try to quit caffeine; Fox News Digital spoke with the study's lead author.
The researchers found that people experienced fewer withdrawal symptoms, even when they were not expecting it. "We recruited heavy coffee drinkers and made them abstain from all sources of caffeine for 24 hours." The researchers only had a short window of time to gather the data. All decaffeinated coffee has trace amounts of caffeine in it — this was one limitation of the study. A typical eight-ounce cup of coffee contains an estimated 80-100 mg of caffeine, per the FDA.
"People who are trying to give up caffeine may find that drinking a cup of decaf when their cravings are at their peak may help reduce their withdrawal for long enough to ride out the worst of it and not give in to temptation," lead author Dr. Llew Mills, a senior research associate at the University of Sydney School of Addiction Medicine in Australia, told Fox News Digital.
