What about 1/2 and 1/2?? What about Splenda?? Any more insights??

Thanks!!

I now drink decaf, but guess what? My doctor showed me a report where it "proves" that not all decaf coffee is really decaf at all.... They found one coffee that had 75% of the normal amount of caffiene.... But I really enjoy iced coffee so I will ( am right now ) trying decaf to see what happens.
