Coffee and Miscarriage

Coffee plantations in Brazil and other Latin American countries might have reason to fear a decline in coffee consumption among pregnant women.

A new study in the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology has revealed that even moderate coffee drinkingin early pregnancy raises the possibility of miscarriage.

Coffee drinkers who consume more than 200 mg of caffeine a day, or just over two cups, doubled the risk of miscarriage compared to abstainers.
