in fact i looked at a fantastic review from 2017 and what they found was that in fact decaffeinated coffee which carries the same antioxidant load but without the caffeine has many health benefit associations with it

The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
Yes, I do, and there are plenty of studies showing similar associations of decaffeinated coffee intake with positive health outcomes. Likely due to the polyphenol content.
Interestingly, decaffeinated coffee consistently shows similar protective effects, which strongly suggests that beneficial compounds beyond caffeine, such as polyphenols and the melanoidins, are primarily driving these anti-cancer benefits.
For general health, longevity, and even cancer prevention, both caffeinated and decaffeinated coffee do offer substantial benefits.
And importantly, studies reassure us that neither caffeinated nor decaffeinated coffee increases cancer risk.
And even decaf coffee delivers a similar benefit. So, this really suggests that compounds beyond caffeine like polyphenols and the chlorogenic acids do act as powerful anti-aging agents.
