You’ve made the shift. Choosing free-range and organic, eating in-season, and paying closer attention to what goes in your body. And, what doesn’t. So it makes sense that reducing caffeine is a part of your healthy lifestyle. But many people are surprised to learn that to decaffeinate coffee, most processes use chemical solvents to remove the caffeine molecules.
The Swiss Water Decaffeinated Coffee Company is the only company in the world that uses pure, fresh water from British Columbia and the unique SWISS WATER® Process to decaffeinate coffee. 0% methylene chloride. 0% ethyl acetate. Be sure you know what you’re drinking. Ask for decaf coffee brands that use the SWISS WATER® Process at your favorite coffee house, café, restaurant, or grocery store.
It’s important for pregnant women and nursing moms to not overdo it. Babies have different tolerances and while some may show no adverse reaction to caffeine, others can be bothered by even minute amounts. Your baby’s body can’t easily break down and eliminate caffeine like an adult, so over time it may accumulate in their system.
Keep in mind that caffeine is present in sources other than coffee including tea, soft drinks, “energy” drinks, and chocolate. Caffeine also shows up in herbal products and over-the-counter drugs, including some headache, cold, and allergy remedies. Therefore, limiting caffeine consumption where you can is important. Accept no substitutes. Make sure you’re drinking coffee decaffeinated with the 100% chemical-free SWISS WATER® Process.
Accept no substitutes.

All women experience life's natural transition of menopause, however, the symptoms associated with this can differ greatly for each woman. Studies show that many menopausal symptoms are aggravated by the prolonged consumption of caffeine. It has also been found that high caffeine consumption can bring on menopause at an earlier age than average. Caffeine hinders absorption of minerals such as calcium, magnesium and iron which are vital to a woman’s well being.
A high intake of caffeine is also linked to lower bone density, elevated stress hormones and an increased intensity of hot flashes. Switching to decaf is a consideration. By choosing SWISS WATER® Process, you’re choosing a decaf coffee that has the caffeine removed without chemicals like methylene chloride or ethyl acetate.
