Letter: Letter: Kick down

Published 12 January 1991

From JOHN BRUNNER

Having myself given up caffeine with beneficial effects on my blood
pressure, I wonder whether the reasons for people switching to decaffeinated
coffee were taken into account in the Stanford and Harvard studies (‘Anyone
for designer coffee’, 22/29 December). In other words, did they change because
they already had a cardiovascular problem?
