Decaf Done Right: Finding the Perfect Decent Decaf Coffee
Decaf is not only better for your sleep and heartburn, but it also has some very important health benefits. One of those is reducing the risk of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), which can be fatal in some cases. Studies also show that consuming high-quality decaf coffee can protect against Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease.
There are two main methods of decaffeination: natural and chemical-free. Natural decaf uses water, carbon dioxide or a combination of the two to remove the caffeine from the beans. Then the beans are steamed and soaked to reintroduce some of the flavours that have been lost during the decaffeination process. The other method is using chemicals such as methylene chloride and ethyl acetate. These chemicals are not considered safe by the FDA, so if you’re concerned, be sure to choose natural-processed or Swiss water-processed decaf.
