As I noted above, the Canadian government suggests consuming no more than 400 mg/day.
If you find the Swiss water process decaffeinated coffee (or the carbon dioxide/water method for tea), then you will avoid the harsh chemicals of other processes.
Also check into the actual beans. Many providers use the robusta bean instead of the higher quality arabica bean to make decaf. Robusta beans are cheap but taste like ass compared to arabica beans. I guess people thing that if you're drinking decaf, you don't care what it tastes like.
