How unhealthy is decaffeinated coffee?

[SSSandy]

I gave up coffee a while back but I do miss drinking it. I've bought some decaff and been drinking quite a lot of it but I'm wondering, does anyone know whether decaff is COMPLETELY decaffeinated and whether it is still unhealthy to drink for any reason?

Oh thanks pamina, that doesn't sound too good

Pamina, I don't think it was just an old wives' tale - I think it depended on what you used to flush out the caffeine (whether you used water or harmful chemicals) but I don't know if the chemicals are still used.
