Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
Decaffeinated coffee is often less than 95% caffeine free, which is why doctors often advise caffeine-sensitive patients to avoid it in addition to regular coffee, though the vast majority of coffee drinkers would not be affected by it to a noticeable extent. A new study shows that that small amount of caffeine may be having a greater effect than previously thought. Not only could the small amount of caffeine - about .5 mg per ounce versus as much as 18mg per ounce in non-decaf - add up to a reasonably significant amount after several cups, but it could also trigger a caffeine dependency, just as regular coffee can. Who would have thought you could get hooked on decaf?
The study also noted that the caffeine content of different brands of coffee varied and, of the ones they tested (not all listed), only Folgers Instant was complete caffeine free.

Both taste like coffe so I'll go for whichever's available. Same with cigarettes. There was a feature before that showed how supposedly light cigarettes contained as much nicotine as the regular ones. I think it's not the amount of caffeine reall, but the frequency in which you ingest it. It's not so surprising that people can still develop dependency on caffeine with decaf. If there's caffeine, and you takeit regularly, chances are you'll be looking for it.
