Small Amounts of Caffeine Linked to Low-Birth-Weight Babies

Still think they have any idea of what a "healthy" food is?

Caffeine's bad.

"A cup or more of coffee daily during pregnancy is enough to increase the risk of delivering a low-birth-weight baby, researchers here reported.

Pregnant women who drank one to two cups of coffee a day (100-200 mg caffeine/day) increased the risk of fetal growth restriction by 20%, found a prospective study of 2,635 healthy pregnant women, Justin C. Konje, M.D., of the University of Leicester, and colleagues reported online today in BMJ.

In fact, they reported that the risk increased as caffeine consumption rose, and they "could find no level of intake at which there was no association with increased risk of fetal growth restriction."

They found that consuming 200 mg to 299 mg of caffeine daily -- the equivalent of two to three cups of coffee -- was associated with an increased risk of fetal growth restriction by 50% compared with women who limited daily caffeine intake to less than 100 mg or less."

No it's not.

Yes it is.

No it's not.

Yes it is.

Maybe, who knows?

Face it.

They have no idea.

There are no "healthy" foods. There is only eating healthily.
