Two new studies have recent been published in journals that shed more light on the pro’s and con’s of what caffeine can do to our bodies – particularly women.
The Pro: It seems that women who ingest caffeine may be at a lower risk for ovarian cancer than those whom do not. The statement made by Shelley Tworoger of Harvard Medical School was that “with regard to caffeine and caffeine-containing beverages, we generally observed a lower risk of ovarian cancer with increasing intake”. The article continues to say that further research will need to be conducted to pin point the reasons behind the “protective benefits”
The Con: Caffeine doubles the chance of a miscarriage. A team of US researches claims that a pregnant woman who drinks two or more cups of coffee elicits twice the risk of miscarrying her child. The risk seems to be directly related to caffeine as increased risk was also observed in women who consumed sodas, tea, and hot chocolate. Dr.De-Kun Li of Kaiser Permanente Division of Research advises that “women who are pregnant or are actively seeking to become pregnant should stop drinking coffee for three months or hopefully throughout pregnancy….. To me, the safe dose is zero”.
