Does decaf dehydrate you?

[meyouus 415]

Being the coffee (and decaf) lover that I am, I was questioning whether Decaf dehydrates you (I also drink a lot of Water and Crystal Light) because I've heard so many people say it does. Here's what I found....

If you are drinking plenty of Water, then decaf/coffee shouldn't be a problem in terms of dehydration.

Just be aware of any calories from milk/cream/sugar that you add to your coffee.

Good luck.

I drink coffee all sorts of ways. Decaf / Regular / Latte (not frozen) with skim milk / Iced, black, with mocha (on days where I budget in the calories and carbs / same with McD's SF caramel, without cream / At home with the FF 1/2 + 1/2 that my NUT suggests.

I used to like the frozen type coffee's, but not only do they not deserve to be called "coffee", they are wickedly bad for you!

I just love coffee. I love chocolate covered coffee Beans, or naked Beans. Long Live the Bean!

Oh yeah, I use Equal, not sugar.

No, Decaf does not dehydrate you.

well I would say certainly it will not dehydrate you.

but in a way coffee is good in a number of ways and ifanyone drink coffee then they will definetly gets benefit from other positive ingredients and antioxidants.

I know it will not dehydrate me. I just wanted to post the link that discusses all the points ya'll have come to and more. But I don't know if anyone is reading it. Many people do not understand (and I don't know it all) the pro's and con's of decaf/coffee. And I know many people on here that love their coffee! Such good folk! :wub:
