Researchers have found that women who consume the equivalent of two or more cups of regular coffee or five 12-ounce cans of caffeinated soda are twice as likely to have a miscarriage than pregnant woman who avoid caffeine.
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.
