Coffee without the caffeine - fraud

A study of the university of Florida showed that in the coffee without the caffeine the caffeine nevertheless is present, moreover in sufficiently large quantities.

People, which suffer the specific diseases (for example, by hypertonia), and also representatives of some religious konfessiy, reject the use of caffeine. However, in 10 cups of the dissoluble coffee, on bank of which written "does not contain caffeine", is contained as much caffeine, as in two cups of usual.

This conclusion was made on the basis of analysis of 10 it was quality the coffee without the caffeine, sold in THE USA.

In the mean statistical portion of dissoluble "coffee without the caffeine" it is discovered from 8.6 to 13.9 milligrams of caffeine. In the portion of the "ground coffee without the caffeine" - 12-13.4 milligrams.

On the standards, which act in THE USA and West Europe, in one portion "coffee without the caffeine" must be contained not more than 3 milligrams of caffeine. For the comparison, in the cup of the usual dissoluble coffee are contained 85 milligrams of caffeine, in container Coca-Cola - 31 milligrams.

Even the small doses of caffeine influence the rhythm of heart, the blood pressure and the psyche of man. This information published periodical Journal of Analytical Toxicology.

According to the data of the administration OF THE USA on the control of the foodstuffs and the medicines, a quantity of caffeine in the cup of coffee depends on many factors: the type of the coffee (for example, into robusta almost doubly more caffeine, than in arabike), the place of the production of coffee grains, method of the preparation (the "boiled" coffee it contains more caffeine, than dissolved), etc.

The use of 300 milligrams of caffeine in a 24 hour period is considered normal.

According to the data of the national coffee association OF THE USA, 52% of Americans of older than 18- TI of years drink coffee daily. 65% of kofemanov use coffee to the breakfast. 35% of them drink only black coffee (without the additives, for example, without the sugar).

Women and men consume coffee in identical quantities; however, - women consider for the different reasons that the coffee helps them to be weakened, and man - to be concentrated, reports Washington ProFile.
