Is decaf coffee safe? |
I think the Swiss water process provides chemical free decaffeination.
My father's physician told him to go to decaf after he discovered my father was drinking 22 cups of coffee a day - old time coffee cups, not the large mugs we use today. At that time Sanka was all that was available so he drank that. My father went on to live almost 94 years.
My father loved Jim Beam and Jack Daniels and after he retired during his seventies and eighties drank some from an old time small fruit juice glass at 10, 2 and 4, like Dr. Pepper. In his late 80s he had to cut back on the booze as he and my mother moved to an independent living facility where he could not keep alcohol in the apartment. He had a male friend there with whom he would go out and have a few drinks now and then.
