to think that drinking 8 cups of instant decaff coffee per day is not such a terrible thing?

[norbettsauntie]

Isn't it the caffinated stuff that's the drink of the devil?

Instant decaff sounds to me like the worst drink ever. 8 purple Nespressos on the other hand...

It's terrible if you don't also have a vanilla latte.. That is my weakness.

I drink tea till the cows come home.

I'm a fussy cow connoisseur and you can hardly tell the difference between most normal and decaffs now.

Your tastebuds must be shot to buggery. Never mind the decaff - INSTANT?

Your internal organs will probably go all black and crunchy after about 15 years, but if you're enjoying it, then why not?

It's supposed to have a lot of chemicals in it, isn't it? From the decaffeination process that said, I drink it!

Instant decaff? What is the point? I suppose if you ever run out, you could just get some soil from the garden and mix it with water, it tastes about the same

Don't they use some variant of formaldehyde to decaffinate it? Bleugh.

really, that's worrying!

i only have decaff tea and coffee as i cant tolerate caffeine at all.
what do they do to it to decaffeinate it?

They used to use benzene, which is a known carcinogen, but nowadays it's done with carbon dioxide (on most of the jars I've looked at, anyway).

dammit, always forget to check that box... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decaffeination

there is some caffeine in decaff...i think 3 decaffs= 1 caffeinated?

also, the chemicals used to remove the caffeine are 'harmful'

YANBU drinking 8 coffees a day :o

YABU to drink instant. Ugh.
