Question

Is decaf coffee completely decaffinated?? .. or are there low amounts of caffiene in brewed decaf coffee?
(i'm researching about people with health conditions concerning caffiene... if they even should be drinking decaf coffee at all!!)

- can anyone find some links to articles/resources that talk about this? thanks! :)

The last article is a little mixed up because the columns don't align; however, regular coffee shows up to 180 mg caffeine, instant about the same, and decaf as 3-5 mg/cup.

thanks!!
