I wonder if they have stopped using water and solvents, methylene chloride or ethyl acetate? Himself is a chemist and we were talking about decaf. They used to use formaldehyde, too. 😱
EC, Yay you;) Elizabeth, Hils, Birgit and Andrew, A bit of an over simplification. They add solvents or strain through carbon. CJ, I think in one of the processes they still add the solvents, don't they? Formaldehyde? Ack. Ack. Ack.
