    I've come to the conclusion that any time we humans type to "remove" something from a product otherwise in it's natural state, all we do is screw it up!

    same being said when we try to 'add' something to a product otherwise in it's natural state.

    humans, cant just stop touching things :smiley:

    I quit caffeine six months ago for health reasons, and it has been wonderful. I never knew it was responsible for the terrible afternoon slump I experienced daily, but apparently that was the crash from my morning bit. But I couldn't have caffeine after 3pm or it would keep me up all night.

    IMO, it's a personal decision for everyone. Just because I did away with it doesn't mean everyone needs to do away with it. Just thought I'd share with you my experience.

    If I had to do it over, I'd wean myself off instead of going through a week of withdrawal symptoms again. Just FYI. ;)

    Where do I get it? Carmel and I are best friends and I've been hankering for some in my coffee.

    Oh, And the artificial bit? I'm not that perfect, not anywhere close.

    I drink decaf and use it to make BPC. Caffeine upsets my stomach, makes me crave sugar, and gives me chest pains but I like the taste soooo, decaf. Not too worried about the removal process.

    I think most stores carry it in the coffee aisle now. My Walmart does, and I'm in Smalltown USA... LOL There are also about 3 brand now of it, whereas about 2 weeks ago it was only the Folgers. Just beware, it's kind of like Mio, and it has coffee flavor with the caramel, so it might be overwhelming. We got some for the office - consensus is mixed - some love it, some hate it.
