> Not just switching to "decaf" (which isn't)
Going to argue here, this is wildly bad advice. Decaf practically has no caffeine, it has 2-7 mg from what I can tell which is less then chocolate. 2-7mg is like impossible to notice and might aswell be water with how little there is.
My advice was along the lines of saying, in the 1950s, "give up all cigarettes, not just 'low tar'". Potential straw man here, but surely you wouldn't call that "wildly bad advice".
My comment was predicated on the belief that we wildly underestimate the negative effects of caffeine, as well as its activities at lower doses.
