Study: Caffeine Doubles Risk of Miscarriage
CHICAGO (Reuters) – Pregnant women who drink two or more cups of coffee a day have twice the risk of having a miscarriage as those who avoid caffeine, U.S. researchers said on Monday.
They said the study provides strong evidence that high doses of caffeine during pregnancy — 200 milligrams or more per day or the equivalent of two cups of coffee — significantly increase the risk of miscarriage.
And they said the research may finally put to rest conflicting reports about the link between caffeine consumption and miscarriage.
