The Natural Fertility Community

Hi:

I love the taste of coffee and have given it up. However, I was wondering if decaf is just as harmful? I found Swiss Water Processed Decaf at whole foods (no chemicals) and was wondering if that was okay to drink? I am doing IVF, so clearly i have some issues with fertility... I was thinking of teeccino, but it has chicory and i read that it can cause issues w/ your retinas?

Thanks!!

Hi Pemmie,
Caffeine is the main thing to be concerned about with coffee. Decaf is a good option. I do have to say Teeccino and Cafix are awesome. I drink them a couple of times a day because I love how they taste. I have not heard that about chicory. Can you post a link to the study or source for that info? Thanks!

Hi Hethir:

Here is where i found the info - it's on wikipedia (i have no idea if it's really valid or not). i bought teeccino and love the taste as well, but then i read this and just wondered about chicory.
