We try to keep up with news about coffee, tea and caffeine, in particular. Usually, the news is good. But every now and then we find a cautionary bit. And thus, some folks who care for the elderly are finding that decaf coffee can reduce falls! How, you may ask? Well, caffeine is a diuretic and diuretics can cause us to visit the lavatory more often and sometimes with more urgency. And then we fall down. So the moral of the story is… don’t read the news.
