|  |  Can’t sleep? Wonder if the waiter really poured you decaffeinated coffee after dinner? Well you’re not alone. A lot of people are asking who exactly is governing the world of decaffeination. The FDA? Or are they too consumed with the war on bioterrorism to regulate caffeine? We’ve got some answers.
According to Diana Monaco, a Public Affairs Specialist for the United States Food and Drug Administration, decaffeinated coffee must have 97% of the caffeine removed in order to be classified as decaffeinated.
Now, there are several different ways caffeine can be removed from coffee. The first, and what some consider an ideal way to remove the caffeine, is the Swiss Water Process. The coffee beans are soaked in extremely hot water using this method, until...Read More

Let me say it again. I’ll even use the same words that I have before: the holidays are here and there’s no getting around it. How do I know that for sure? The bickering amongst family members has increased exponentially.
And while a little caffeine will continue to guide me through the next few weeks, this year I’m going to focus on the more magical aspects of the upcoming holidays.
