Decaf Coffee leads to higher cholesterol?

I read a thread earlier about about some bandsters who were having problems with their cholesterol levels, but I can't find it. So, I'm starting a new thread. My husband just forwarded me this article... I thought it might explain why some people who eat an otherwise low cholesterol diet are having trouble.

I heard that on the Today Show this AM. I've been drinking Maxwell House, Lite, 1/2 n 1/2, hummm, maybe that' my culprit, LOL.

What a fascinating article. I loved how at the end they pointed out that if your BMI was over 25, the decaf raises your HDL but if it's under 25 the decaf lowers it significantly. How strange.
