RE: Decaf is my new coffee routine!

in Cinnamon Cup Coffee9 months ago (edited)

One cup of coffee is good for you, two is better, and three is best...even decaf. It has health benefits that make it part of the prevention strategy for COVID-19/Flu/RSV.

Decaf coffee may present some health hazards though. Make sure the caffeine has been extracted through the "Swiss water" process. They may also be labeled "solvent-free" or "chemical-free." Avoid decaf prepared with solvents such as methylene chloride (paint stripper) or ethyl acetate (the stuff used in nail polish remover).

You can find safe brands here.

This is very helpful info because to be fair, it does not surprise me that decaf isn't always that great. I just figured I'd read into that later because for now this has been a great way to drink "coffee" while not having the caffeine that cause headaches from time to time. I'm much better in limiting my intake drinking decaf compared to the real deal, so I've learned.

I only drank decaf from L'or until now, and bought a box of other decaf which I'm going to return due to the strength I noticed at home but the box is in my hands now to check this brand so that I know. My boyfriend drinks another of their cups and usually gets stomach trouble from drinking more than one a day (which he does) so I'm keen on finding out if they are processed badly ..

Thanks for this great comment, I appreciate it! !PIMP

I can't really find the answer but the L'or cups seem to be safe, to be sure, I sent them an email to ask directly. Let's see.

The box from the supermarket that I will return says "Fabricado en Suiza" so I assume (but I will ask them as well to be sure) that it's indeed the Swiss water method but that could also be to mislead people as these boxes are cheap (just 3,50 euros for 20 cups compared to 4 euros for 10 cups of L'or)

I will write a post about it thanks for the inspiration and knowledge sharing !LUV
