Thought I would pass on this info for folks watching their caffeine. The small study focused on commercially available decaf products and beverages (from Folgers Crystals to Starbucks) and did NOT involve homeroasted. The study suggests that multiple decaf beverages could easily contain the same amount of caffeine as one cup of regular. Some of the claims sound slightly alarmist. But for folks who need to watch it, it might be worth noting. The study authors final take is that decaffeinated does not mean caffeine-free.http://www.medpagetoday.com/PrimaryCare/DietNutrition/dh/4280-- Brent My coffee is better than it tastes |
Does anyone publish a chart of the data? Some data might be helpful in understanding. For example, teh writer says that just two decaf drinks could equal the caffeine in one caffeinated beverage. Careful reading indicated caffeine at 85mg for a cup of coffee, and decaf beverages at 7mg +- 5, while SOME soda pop had 18mg of caffeine. So 1c+1c=2c, but 1c+1c+1c+1c+1c+1c+1c+1c+1c+1c+1c+1c does not quite equal 85.
