Does adding sweetner or creamer to your coffee make it decafinated?!


Question:

Does adding sweetner or creamer to your coffee make it decafinated?


Answers:
No, the caffeine has nothing to do with the sugar or sweetener. If you want decaffeinated coffee you need to purchase the kind that specifically says decaffeinated.

Nope

you don't get out much do you?

No, there's nothing you can add to coffee (or any other beverage containing caffeine) that will make it "de-caf".

When the caffeine in a product is naturally-occurring, such as in coffee, the term "decaffeinated" means that most of the caffeine has been removed, usually by a chemical process that is meant to dissolve caffeine, but leave all OTHER chemicals behind. Decaffeinated coffee (and tea) still has a small amount of caffeine in it...not more than 3 percent.

Some coffee producers have managed to genetically manipulate the actual coffee beans/plants, so that there is less caffeine even before the coffee is roasted and ground. But there is still a significant amount of caffeine present. (the "reduced caffeine" or "half the caffeine" coffees that you see in the supermarket are simply blends of regular coffee beans and decaffeinated beans)

The only way to enjoy a truly caffeine-free beverage is to drink something that never contained caffeine to begin with!

No. Decafinated has to do with the coffee itself. Nothing to do with the sweetner or creamer.

no even decaf coffee is not 100 percent decaf.

When a total a**hole starts being all super nice to you and doing you favors.....does it make him a nice person???

Just think, Grasshopper...

no

Caffeine is an additive substance found in coffee and tea and adding of sugar or milk to it does not reduce the content, however, the shorter time required in brewing them would result in lesser caffeine in coffee or tea
