I am a lover of coffee! It's not the caffeine, it's really the taste. I gave up caffeine when I was pregnant almost 6 years ago. I figured, why go back? But this year I started to drink 2 cups of 1/2 caffeinated, 1/2 decaf in the a.m. ( I only drink caffeine because I read it can boost metabolism when combined with exercise). I may have a cup of decaf at 12ish, but I don't usually drink any at dinner.
I saw an article in the June 09' issue of Prevention magazine questioning whether decaf in restaurants is really decaffeinated. They said that upon testing, one out of every 6 cups of restaurant decaf (from 3 different restaurant chains), contained more than 20 mg of caffeine.
There are test strips available online ( @ www.discovertesting .com ) that can check your java for you so your not up staring at your ceiling for the most part of the night after your dinner out!
