For Jeff Potts, it's a necessity.
"I had atriofibrillation last October. That's when your heart goes very sporadic, not keeping beat. It was going about 170," said Potts, who is a master control operator at KY3.
His doctor told him to cut the caffeine from his diet -- and quickly.
"Once you have it once, caffeine or any stimulant could cause it to happen again," said Potts.
Like many consumers, Potts assumed decaf means caffeine-free, but that's not the case.

Potts says one way to do that is for coffee sellers to take steps to protect their customers.
"If it has caffeine, it should say how much is in there," he said.
For coffee drinkers to know when just enough becomes too much, Green says there's a trick. If you can look and see the bottom of the cup, you've got about 4 milligrams of caffeine in an 8-ounce cup. If you're concerned there's too much caffeine, he suggests diluting it with some hot water. -
