I remember hearing that certain decaffeinated coffee's were bad for you because of something they
did to it during the so called "natural" decaffeination process.

Which brands use this dangerous process, and which brands do not?

Thanks

I think that in the past, the decaff process involved some toxic solvent to remove caffeine. They
(all brand ?) now use superfluid CO2, which is not toxic. Thus, no problems.

No coffee is a health food. I will say the old line de-caf likely wasn't much of a health risk for
the consumer as the solvent chloroform has very low boiling point. I'll grant there is a risk in at
least theory but it is minamal. The newer decafs are certainly safer for the workers making the
stuff and the environment.

When I quit taking any caffienated drinks since age 21 because I had to (sleeping problem; I used
to drink tea - British style - in the morning and in the afternoon), I decided why bother
drinking decaf. I was beginning to like coffee better around the time I quit tea. That was before
I came to US.

When I heard about the toxin things in decaf, I was happy that I didn't start the habit of
drinking decaf.

It's been about 6 months that I started desiring to drink decaf coffee in breakfast (I really liked
the falvor) realy want to drink coffee in the morning.

So, am I absolutely safe, I mean no unknown toxic in decaf products, if I drink decaf nowadays?
