Guest guest Posted June 4, 2003 Report Share Posted June 4, 2003 Zina, why are you not drinking de-caffeinated coffee?? Yes, they say there is still a slight amount of caffeine in it, but it's hardly worth mentioning. In the USA the caffeine content has to be reduced to less than 3% of its original content. Additionally, since coffee is one of the most heavily pesticided product in the USA (including soy and tobacco), you could consider buying organic coffee, which has a better chance of not being heavily pesticided. And, when you buy organic de-caf coffee, you look for one that says it was decaffed with the Swiss Method, meaning water was used instead of chemicals. And finally, instead of using the bright white coffee filters (which were bleached and allows a tiny amount of Chlorine to come throudh), you can use the non-bleached variety.

Guest guest Posted June 4, 2003 Report Share Posted June 4, 2003 Hi Janie, I do use organic coffee and I do half of it with the swiss method decaf. I just read those articles that posted and they scared me @ & itless! LOL I would like some facts on what caffeine REALLY does to your adrenals and to your body. If I don't have to give it up, then I don't want to! Do you drink coffee? I'll look for the non-bleached filters. Thanks! Zina > Zina, why are you not drinking de-caffeinated coffee??
