Pregnant women get coffee break

What a load of BS. Several thousand pregnancies after --- oops, we made a mistake, our study was wrong.

Yeah!!! Hello DD Iced Coffee.......

I wonder how billions of healthy people got born, before the days of "prenatal experts". We need these experts almost as badly as Washington needs another crooked congressperson.
Don't we have some crooked council members we can loan them??
City/county/whatever-doesn't matter. They are as valuable as the prenatal experts,anyway

Hey I drank one cup of coffee a day when I was pregnant, and my daughter is perfectly healthy and she's very smart for her age.

This OK to proceed on moderate coffee consumption while pregnant is reminiscent of the relatively recent finding that egg yolks are occasionally permitted in people with elevated cholesterol, after the yellow beauties were outlawed by nutritionists in 1972. However, pregnant or otherwise, people should know that the sugar substitute they stir into coffee was never proven to be effective for weight reduction. It also was never brain tested. Sugar substitutes affect the brain. For example, aspartame is known to cause panic attacks, headaches, migraines, and seizures. Last week alone, 2 of my young female patients were hospitalized for sugar substitute related seizures.

Pregnant women get coffee break

at least this week they do.

next week some cornball expert will say something different and
away we go again

Pregnant women shouldn't be drinking coffee. It dehydrates you. Dehydration can cause false labor. The article should be reading that pregnant women need to stay hydrated. How irresponsible. Did the coffee lobby have anything to do with this study/article?

Yeah, yu are right. Nowhere in this article did they say to stay hydrated. Pretty irresponsible especially when first time mothers may not know better.

Hello, I am head of instructor aide for Anatomy and Physiology in Santa Ana College, California. I have seen a lot of studies on what do's and don't in pregnancies. I, myself love coffee. If one used to drink coffee everyday before getting pregnant then she shouldnt stop drinking coffee when she is pregnant. I know coffee is a stimulant, but hey what about the caffeine that one gets in soft drink and some part of it is in chocolates as well.

Yes, i agree that researchers do come up with alot of 'oopps' moments in their studies..but then try to analyze the article and their experiment- the number of subjects and the criteria for their controls does not make any sense.

I was doing some research on a hot topic ' milk helps to reduce body fat'(that what 2424.com , claimed- this is still shown on Tv) none! thats all bull shit!

Try to make your wise decision. I am not saying to sip down coffee like water on any state of your body, but read some facts and make your own judgment.
