Careful! Better make sure you know how the coffee was decaffeinated. Sometimes it's just better to drink the caffeine or switch to a different beverage entirely. Formaldehyde is used to decaffeinate some coffee. And what's the point of drinking coffee if you don't want the caffeine? Kind of like drinking alcohol-free beer. Well...there's always Postum.

The Frog is right. Why not switch to tea? That is supposed to be good for you

I know tea is supposed to have some health benefits, but then I've never really enjoyed it (except, possibly when eating in a Chinese restaurant). Whereas, it seems I like just about everything about coffee - the aroma, the flavor, the CAFFEINE...

And you know, it seems to me I just read lately that coffee may (that's what they always say, isn't it?) help to reduce the incidence of colon cancer. http://www.healthfinder.gov/news/newsstory.asp?docID=515602

I have fond memories of Postum. Do they still make it?

I have a few fond memories of Postum too. I think they still make it. I remember buying it a few years back for old times sake but I haven't looked for it recently. I have a few fond memories of coffee too. And I have cut back to 2 cups a day. It was surprisingly easy to do this after I went out and bought those new mugs. ;)
