Word of Wisdom 1, Coffee-Drinkers 0
A new study is out that shows that coffee and other caffeinated drinks can double the risk of miscarriage. You can read the article here.
It’s interesting that the focus of the article is on coffee, but the quote below says “caffeinated drinks”:
“Pregnant women who have two or more cups of caffeinated drinks a day have twice the risk of having a miscarriage than those who avoid caffeine, suggests a new study.”
Another great quote:
“To me, the safe dose is zero. If you really have to drink coffee, try to limit it to one cup or at the most two cups.”
Also, the score in the title should probably be more like Word of Wisdom 33,094,230,948, Coffee-drinkers -2,390,847,987

thats interesting that they have said that. Some reading material I was given when pregnant said that it was unproven that caffeine had any ill effects on pregnancy, and you shouldn’t worry unless you were drinking like six cups of coffee a day. So I’m glad they did another study.

Caffeine always gave me a headache anyway… so even with the Word of Wisdom, it’s something I would normally avoid anyway! It’s just not good for you!
