Decaf coffee contains methylene chloride, a carcinogen known to cause cancer and other health issues, prompting FDA petitions for removal.
Methylene chloride, aside from being a carcinogen, can also lead to liver toxicity, neurological effects, and in extreme cases, death.
While the EPA banned methylene chloride in paint strippers in 2019, its use in decaffeination processes for food remains unregulated by the FDA.
