Effect of decaffeination of coffee or tea on gastro-oesophageal reflux
Abstract
SUMMARY: Background: Coffee and tea are believed to cause gastrooesophageal reflux : however, the effects of these beverages and of their major component, caffeine, have not been quantified. The aim of this study was to evaluate gastro‐oesophageal reflux induced by coffee and tea before and after a decaffeination process, and to compare it with water and water‐containing caffeine. Methods: Three‐hour ambulatory pH‐metry was performed on 16 healthy volunteers, who received 300 ml of (i) regular coffee, decaffeinated coffee or tap water (n = 16), (ii) normal tea, decaffeinated tea, tap water, or coffee adapted to normal tea in caffeine concentration (n= 6), and (iii) caffeine‐free and caffeine‐containing water (n= 8) together with a standardized breakfast. Results: Regular coffee induced a significant (P < 0.05) gastro‐oesophageal reflux compared with tap water and normal tea, which were not different from each other. Decaffeination of coffee significantly (P < 0.05) diminished gastro‐oesophageal reflux, whereas decaffeination of tea or addition of caffeine to water had no effect. Coffee adapted to normal tea in caffeine concentration significantly (P < 0.05) increased gastro‐oesophageal reflux. Conclusions: Coffee, in contrast to tea, increases gastrooesophageal reflux, an effect that is less pronounced after decaffeination. Caffeine does not seem to be responsible for gastro‐oesophageal reflux which must be attributed to other components of coffee.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
