Caffeine Increases Risk of Spontaneous Abortion
In a study published by the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, pregnant women who consume two or more cups of coffee a day have a higher likelihood of spontaneous abortion than those who eat few products with caffeine.
The research was based were 1063 pregnant health plan members of Kaiser Permanente in San Francisco, USA. The participants did not change their level of consumption of caffeine during pregnancy.
Among the most striking results, we found that women who ate two or more cups of coffee or five cans of soda with large doses of caffeine per day were twice as likely to miscarry the baby than women who avoided eating it.
